Charles Oliveira still undeniably is one of the best lightweights in the world after his UFC 309 win over Michael Chandler, and now he will seemingly get a chance to prove he is the best.
Oliveira (35-10 MMA, 23-10 UFC) had major success in Saturday’s rematch with Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) at Madison Square Garden in New York, earning a unanimous decision victory after five rounds to make him go up 2-0 in the series between them.
The result set the stage for Oliveira to challenge the winner of the next 155-pound title bout between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, which is targeted for January.
