Oliveira does not rule out a fight with Volkanovski

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 30, 2023, 10:53 a.m.

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira admits that he may one day return to the featherweight division for a title fight with Alexander Volkanovski.

“I really thought about moving down to the featherweight division, but everything has its time. Now I am focused exclusively on Makhachev. If God willing and everything goes well, I will go down in weight and fight Volkanovski,” Sportskeeda quotes Oliveira.

Let us remind you that on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Oliveira will try to regain the title in a rematch with Islam Makhachev. In the first meeting of these fighters, which took place a year earlier in the same place, the Dagestani won by choke in the second round.
