Charles Oliveira ‘won’t waste’ opportunity when offered UFC title shot

Four years after watching his rear-naked choke being overturned to a no-contest due to an illegal knee, "Do Bronx" choked Lentz with a guillotine at UFC Fight Night 67 in Goiania, Brazil, on Saturday night.

Winner of his past four UFC bouts with three submissions, Oliveira wants a shot at the featherweight gold.

"If you don’t want the title, you’re in the wrong sport," Oliveira said at the post-fight press conference at the Goiania Arena. "When I have my chance, I will go there to become champion. I can grow a lot more. I haven’t showed anything yet.
