While Islam Makhachev will now defend the belt against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284, Oliveria can be the next challenger to his lost 155 lbs strap after ‘The Greatest’. Charles Oliveira hasn’t confirmed his return but a few UFC fans have already anticipated his comeback and have backed him to beat Islam Makhachev.

A picture of Charles Oliveira donning a moustache has been spotted on the Internet. MMA fans were quick to churn humor out of it.

Charles Oliveira is the number-one ranked lightweight fighter at the moment. By the time Islam Makhachev faces Alexander Volkanovski, Oliveira can go against any of his former opponents like Justin Gaethje, Michael Chandler or even Dustin Poirier. All these men are at the top of the division and are lurking over a chance to compete for the gold. If Alexander Volkanovski beats Makhachev at UFC 284, it will be a whole new story in the current lightweight category. Meanwhile, Charles Oliveira can come across a lucrative opportunity that can surprise everyone.

Can we see Charles Oliveira compete against Conor McGregor?

Conor McGregor has been out of action since his loss against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He has teased his return on several occasions and has also wished to face the Brazilian Charles Oliveira. Conor McGregor enjoys his win over a Brazilian in Jose Aldo. Hence, former 155 lbs champion Charles Oliveira can be on his combat radar.

While Oliveira has also wished for a fight against McGregor, the same may not happen soon. Conor McGregor looks bulked up ad has teased a move to welterweight or middleweight next. Charles Oliveira doesn’t look likely to quit the 155 lbs division this early. So, ‘Do Bronx’ against McGregor can be a valid fight, but only if both men remain in the lightweight division. It remains to be seen whether we will ever see Conor McGregor vs Charles Oliveira happen.
