Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has welcomed the chance to rematch fellow former Octagon gold holder, Max Holloway ahead of his UFC 309 return next weekend — as he prepares to take on Michael Chandler in a five round co-headliner.
Oliveira, the current number two rated challenger, has been sidelined since he featured on the main card of UFC 300 earlier this year, suffering a controversial decision loss to Arman Tsarukyan in the pair’s officially-billed title eliminator.
In his most recent win in the summer of last year, Sao Paulo finisher, Oliveira racked up his latest record-defying win, stopping perennial contender, Beneil Dariush with a blistering barrage of first round ground strikes.
