Charles oliveira next fight full#

You were hard-pressed to find a genuine threat to Khabib Nurmagomedov at the time of his retirement, but Oliveira has emerged as the other half of that dream match. Check out the full interview with Charles Oliveira below. Oliveira was stripped after missing weight for his lightweight title defense at UFC 274, but there was enough chaos surrounding the incident to save him face.

Add to that an unbreakable will and fight-ending power and Oliveira is must-watch programming. Yes, Oliveira gets rocked and dropped, quite a bit, but his spiderweb of jiu-jitsu deters opponents from finishing the job. A thrilling win over Justin Gaethje this year erased any lingering doubts. Back-and-forth fights against Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier in 2021 had him in the running for Fighter of the Year. Oliveira is the uncrowned king of the UFC lightweight division and it only adds to the drama of his unexpected rise. With Charles Oliveira beating Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 but leaving without the lightweight title, former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is now pushing for his fighter to get the next shot at the belt. Let's take a look at five moments from the first half of the year that shook up the UFC. Everything that occurred over the first six months of 2022 set the stage for an intriguing second half. Gripping championship fights, the rise of what may be a generational athlete and a real-life dispute with the company are among the UFC's biggest highlights from January through June.
