Charles Oliveira set to attend UFC 311, open to face off with title fight winner: ‘I’ll definitely do it’

Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has confirmed he will be in attendance at the Intuit Dome for UFC 311 this weekend — and insists if offered the opportunity, he will confront the winner of Islam Makhachev’s title clash with Arman Tsarukyan in a bid to land himself a rematch with the main event victor.

Oliveira, the current number two ranked lightweight contender, returned to the Octagon at UFC 309 back in November, landing himself back in the winning column to boot.
