“I think you could call Oliveira the greatest lightweight of all time. The numbers don’t lie. Based on how he treats opponents, and considering he’s claiming the title again, yes, the best lightweight in history is Charles Oliveira. But you shouldn’t forget about Islam Makhachev. If he beats Charles again and then defends the title multiple times, then the status of the greatest should be given to him,” said Cejudo.
Oliveira defeated Beneil Dariush via submission at UFC 289. After the fight, the promotion’s president said the Brazilian could get revenge on Makhachev.
