Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has voiced his displeasure with the fact his championship rematch with Islam Makahchev is slated to take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, however, remains confident of winning gold once more – a championship he claims is still his.
Oliveira, a former undisputed titleholder at the weight class, managed to return to the winner’s enclosure back in June in the co-main event of UFC 289, after seeing his division-best 12-fight winning halted by Makhachev back in October of last year.
Landing a first round win over the surging Beneil Dariush, Oliveira racked up his first victory whilst competing in Canada in the promotion, defeating the Iranian-grappler with a slew of first round ground strikes.
