Makhachev claimed the throne with a dominant performance, winning via second-round submission and ending Oliveira’s 11-bout promotional winning streak in the process. Oliveira returned for the first time since that defeat at UFC 289, where he earned a technical knockout over top lightweight contender Though nothing is set in stone, UFC president Dana White seemed to agree that a return date between Oliveira and Makhachev is the logical next step in the division. “Let’s not play games,” White said at the UFC 289 post-fight press conference. “That fight makes sense, that’s the fight that should happen, and I’m excited to see it again.”

Islam Makhachev vs. Charles Oliveira 2 odds What would be different in the Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev rematch? What would be different in a rematch, you ask? Maybe something, but probably nothing. Yes, Charles Oliveira is as lethal as they come. He has more stoppages than anyone else in UFC history (20) for crying out loud. Of course he is capable of finishing Islam in some way, shape, or form. However, Charles can’t help but lose himself parts of rounds. He gives these windows of opportunity to his opponent in just about every fight, Dariush included, and that is all Makhachev really needs to close the show. I totally understand these opening odds, and since they’re so wide, perhaps the value here will found in the future ‘inside the distance’ props. CHARLES OLIVEIRA'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!

Islam Makhachev vs. Charles Oliveira 2? Dana White wants to see it. Oliveira ran through Beneil Daruish in UFC 289’s pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event last night (Sat., Jun 10, 2023), finishing the No. 4-ranked Lightweight in the first round via technical knockout from inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ( Related The impressive UFC 289 win also put Oliveira in an interesting position because he just beat the guy who was “ UFC’s president didn’t guarantee a rematch against Makhachev for Oliveira, but he said it makes sense. “He looked like a world-beater tonight, and I’m excited for him and Islam to fight again,” Dana White says he's "excited" for Charles Oliveira to rematch Islam Makhachev "Let’s not play games, that fight makes sense, that’s the fight that should happen, and I’m excited to see it again.” Another fight that looms over “Do Bronx” and the 155-pound title picture is the upcoming “ White was asked about Makhachev wanting to fight a new opponent. “There’s a lot of things that go into consideration for the next [title] fight,” White said. “I mean, I’m sitting here talking to you about him right now, and I don’t even know what’s wrong with him. He’s in medicals. I don’t know where he’s at and what he’s got planned over the summer. The list goes on and on of things that factor into how fights are made. But I’m just telling you right here right now [Makhachev vs. Oliveira] is a fight I’d like to see again.” Makhachev

The win acted as Oliveira’s rebound performance after his lone setback to “I didn’t know who was gonna win, but I was crossing my fingers it was gonna be Beneil,” Mendez told “I feel that in my opinion, Charles has earned the right to be No. 1 in line for it. What the UFC feels is different, but from what I see, I don’t see how [it isn’t Oliveira]. Do I think he’s done enough? Yeah, I think he has.” UFC President The Poirier vs. Gaethje 2 winner would make for a fresh matchup for Makhachev no matter the outcome. Ultimately, Mendez doesn’t see the champion having a specific preference despite tweeting at Oliveira that there are “levels” to the game after the UFC 289 triumph. “I seriously doubt Islam’s gonna refuse whoever they offer so whoever they offer, they’re gonna offer,” Mendez said. “Who’s gonna be the challenger? Honestly, I know I did want Beneil because I felt he was being disrespected. Just like “They’re all such tough competitors, but maybe Gaethje [is the easiest of the three lightweight challenger possibilities]. Maybe Gaethje becomes easier for him than all the others but I’m thinking Gaethje might be stylistically. He’s a great kicker and he can take a good punch. But I could be wrong on that for sure. Dustin is an ironman type guy. He holds until the last minute, we’ve seen that before. So, I’m thinking Gaethje but I could be wrong.” TOP STORIES Chaos. Floyd Mayweather, John Gotti III Action.
