Charles Oliveira is the uncrowned king of the UFC’s lightweight division. The belt was stripped from him at last month’s UFC 274, when he weighed in a shade heavy on the scales. However, since then many have blamed the Arizona commission for the snafu.
After losing the title Oliveira defeated Justin Gaethje to ensure the title remained vacant. It is believed Oliveira will compete for that title later this year against an opponent yet to be named.
Oliveira obviously has a preference over who that opponent might be. The Brazilian recently said, not for the first time, that he wants a marque match-up with none other than Conor McGregor.
