UFC star Charles Oliveira eyes August comeback fight after shutting down ‘Fake’ Dan Hooker clash

Fan-favorite finisher, Charles Oliveira has confirmed plans to make a return action as soon as August if possible, after shutting down an admittedly fake fight with perennial contender, Dan Hooker in his return to the UFC.

Oliveira, the current number two ranked lightweight contender, most recently featured at UFC 300 earlier this year, taking on surging contender, Arman Tsarukyan in the pair’s officially-billed title-eliminator.

And suffering his second loss in his three most recent fights, Sao Paulo native, Oliveira’s most recent win came in the form of a blistering opening round knockout win over stalwart lightweight, Beneil Dariush last summer.
