After Khabib Nurmagomedov retired, Lightweight boxers tried to find a replacement of the throne. Among the most outstanding fighters today, we must mention Charles Oliveira. The Brazilian boxer currently has an extremely impressive winning series with 8 consecutive victories, especially the most recent victory against the former champion Interim Tony Ferguson.
For many viewers, the most anticipated script for the Lightweight Landing Belt is Charles Oliveira compared to Dustin Poirier, who is at the top of Lightweight. After this match we will find the new champion of the weight class.
Even commentator UFC Joe Rogan thinks Oliveira has the potential: “Oliveira vs. Khabib is a very worthy match. The way Oliveira controls Tony Ferguson when the battlefield makes us curious. I don't know how Khabib will handle it. Poirier “.
Shortly after that, the Oliveira boxer had a tweet to answer Rogan as follows: “I want it but Poirier has another plan.
Indeed, in recent days, Dustin Poirier has not spotted Charles Oliveira even after UFC 257, Poirier praised “Oliveira is the one who deserves the most compete”. Instead, Poirier is preparing a rematch against McGregor in the near future.
Currently, Khabib has not officially been deprived of UFC despite the retirement declaration for a while. All of the above factors made Oliveira fall into a dilemma, despite winning a series of successive victories but still could not compete for the UFC championship. Looking at the current situation, Oliveira may have to fight with rookie Michael Chandler before winning the championship ticket.
