UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev is experiencing a dearth of equal opponents, so the Brazilian Charles Oliveira will become the Russian’s next opponent. The fighter shared this opinion with Ivan Shtyrkov .
On Saturday in Vancouver, Oliveira defeated American Beneil Dariush by technical knockout in the first round. For the Brazilian, the victory was the first since losing the vacant UFC lightweight belt to Makhachev in October last year.
After defeating Dariush, Oliveira called Makhachev for a rematch, and UFC chief Dana White said the league was ready to stage a fight.
– I think the fight with Oliveira is Makhachev’s next fight. Islam just doesn’t have anyone to fight, and Oliveira has a pretty big fan base. I think this fight will definitely be,” Shtyrkov told .
