Charles Oliveira has admitted he is less than interested in a potential rematch with number one contender, Arman Tsarukyan — as he banks on a targeted title rematch with Islam Makhachev as soon as UFC 317 this summer.
Oliveira, who met with Armenian contender, Tsarukyan at UFC 300 last year, suffered a controversial split decision loss to the surging contender over the course of three rounds, in a pairing many pundits and fans scored for the Sao Paulo finisher.
And in the time since, however, Oliveira managed to return to winning-ways — fighting over the course of five rounds at UFC 309 last November at Madison Square Garden.
