Lightweight contender Carlos Diego Ferreira wants a chance to rematch the first man to ever defeat him in the cage. After Charles Oliveira was forced out of his fight against Beneil Dariush due to personal problems, Ferreira took to Instagram to ask the UFC for a chance to step in on short notice and get the spot left by ‘Do Bronx”.
Currently on a six-fight winning streak, Carlos Diego Ferreira (17-2) tapped out former champion Anthony Pettis in his last outing, back in January, via rear-naked choke. The 35-year-old also holds notable wins over Mairbek Taisumov, Rustam Khabilov and Olivier Aubin-Mercier, among others.
