Oliveira: Everyone Would Love to See Holloway Rematch
“First is winning this fight,” Oliveira told Shakeil Mahjouri. “And fighting for the title, whether it’s BMF or the title of the division. This is a great fight that will propel me towards the title… Everyone would love to see [the Max] fight, and I want this to be my last fight.”
Oliveira won the lightweight title in 2021 and defended it once before losing the belt on the scale. After going 2-1 in his next three following a loss to Islam Makhachev, Oliveira received a shot at the vacant title against Ilia Topuria, as the UFC was upset with No.1 contender Arman Tsarukyan. Oliveira was brutally knocked out by Topuria at UFC 317 this past June. Meanwhile, Gamrot is 4-1 in his last five, only dropping a split decision against Dan Hooker.
Holloway won the BMF title with an iconic buzzer-beater knockout win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 last year. “Blessed” than moved back down to featherweight to challenge Topuria and suffered the only knockout loss of his career. Holloway has since rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Dustin Poirier in “The Diamond’s” retirement fight.
Charles Oliveira says his next goal is fighting for a title whether it’s BMF or the division belt, and adds that a fight with Max Holloway could be the last of his career😳🔥
