Team Oliveira sees a chance for Charles Oliveira to step into a UFC lightweight title fight. Islam Makhachev, the current champion, recently defended his title against Dustin Poirier. Now, Charles Oliveira, who lost his last fight and No. 1 contender spot to Arman Tsarukyan, may have a shot at the title as Arman faces a suspension. Diego Lima, Oliveira’s coach, mentioned that with Arman out, Charles might be the most suitable opponent for Makhachev. While the final decision rests with the UFC, Team Oliveira is optimistic. The only hurdle is Tsarukyan’s suspension, which could be prolonged if he doesn’t meet certain requirements. Nonetheless, Oliveira remains a strong contender for the title.
