Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Henry Cejudo expressed the opinion that Charles Oliveira earned the right to be considered the best lightweight in the history of mixed martial arts.
“Is Oliveira the best lightweight ever? I think yes. Numbers can't lie. Judging by the way he deals with opponents, and considering that he again claims the title, then yes - he is the best in history. But let's not forget about Makhachev. If he beats Oliveira again and defends the belt six or seven times, this title will have to be given to him, ”Cejudo said on his YouTube channel.
On June 11 at UFC 289, Oliveira defeated Beneil Dariush by TKO in the first round.
