Charles Oliveira is fighting in his first non-title bout since 2020, and he has never been hungrier for a win.
At UFC 288 in Newark, New Jersey, Oliveira will look to regain momentum as he faces the red-hot Beneil Dariush who is riding an eight-fight-win-streak.
During Oliveira’s previous title fights, it seemed as though no matter how badly he was hurt, he always found a way to win.
But at UFC 280, Charles Oliveira finally met his match and suffered a rare submission loss to current champion Islam Makhachev.
Dariush and Oliveira have been rumoured to fight in recent times, as Dariush did not slow down on his constant push for title contention.
