A battle of Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelts with knockout power is reportedly going down in two months. According to Ag Fight’s report, lightweight contenders Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush will square off on October 3.
Currently on a seven-fight winning streak, with all victories coming by finish, Oliveira (29-8-1 NC) is in the best form of his UFC career. During this time, ‘Do Bronx’ bested notable names in the division, such as Clay Guida, Jim Miller and most recently, back in March, Kevin Lee. The 30-year-old’s last loss happened in December 2017, when he was TKO’d by Paul Felder.
