Charles Oliveira looked impressive in his return to lightweight at UFC 210, but that’s not stopping him from wanting to return to his longtime home — the 145-pound division.
The Brazilian kicked off the pay-per-view main card against former Bellator MMA champion and betting favorite Will Brooks, and picked up a quick standing rear-naked choke victory. This was one of Oliveira’s best performances in recent memory, and it snapped a two-fight featherweight skid.
Oliveira accepted a fight at 155 pounds after consistently missing the featherweight mark in recent bouts. Oliveira has had 12 featherweight appearances, and he’s missed weight ahead of four of them.
