Oliveira wants to become a champion in two divisions

UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira spoke about his desire to win the title in the second division.

“I was confident that I could no longer go down to featherweight. However, during the last cut, I was close to 155 lbs before the fight and there was a lot of water in my body. So we believe that I can easily handle the 145 pounds.

If I had the opportunity to go down to featherweight for a title fight, I would take it. Moreover, if I had a chance to fight for the welterweight belt, I would do that too, but I believe it is more appropriate for me now to go down to 145 pounds than to go up to 170.

It would be great to become a Brazilian champion in two weight categories ”, - quotes the words of Oliveira MMA Fighting.

Oliveira made his first title defense at UFC 269 on December 12, defeating Dustin Poirier by submission in the third round. The Brazilian's next opponent is expected to be Justin Gaethje.
