Max Holloway is happy to see former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira bounce back in emphatic fashion.
Oliveira (34-9 MMA, 22-9 UFC) scored a first-round TKO of Beneil Dariush in this past Saturday’s UFC 289 co-main event. Oliveira was able to rebound from a lopsided submission loss to Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) last October, and Holloway thinks his big finish over Dariush was enough to earn him another shot at the 155-pound title.
“I think Charles is amazing, man,” Holloway told The Mac Life. “You know all the naysayers and everybody saying he’s done and blah, blah, blah? He’s getting his rightful spot in October to get that rematch, And I’m excited to watch it happen.”
