"Charles Oliveira dismisses Paddy Pimblett, indicating Ilia Topuria as the likely contender for the next UFC title match according to him"
In the world of mixed martial arts, Brazil is set to witness a spectacle as Charles Oliveira prepares to step into the Octagon once more. On October 11, Oliveira will face the No. 10-ranked lightweight contender, Rafael Fiziev, at the Farmasi Arena. This fight marks a significant homecoming for Oliveira, who is headlining a stacked card in Brazil.
Oliveira, a former UFC champion, has had an impressive run in the lightweight division. He currently holds the record for the most bonuses in Dana White's promotion and is ranked No. 4 in the UFC lightweight division. His journey, however, has not been without its challenges.
In his last fight, Oliveira suffered a knockout loss against Ilia Topuria, who is now set to challenge Islam Makhachev for the UFC Lightweight title. However, Oliveira is taking one fight at a time and is focused on his upcoming bout against Fiziev.
In the aftermath of his loss to Topuria, Oliveira has been participating in the Project Rock 8 campaign, which aims to better the way combat sports athletes connect with fans outside the Octagon. He is embodying everything the campaign stands for as he prepares for UFC Rio.
Prior to his loss, Oliveira defended the UFC lightweight title once by submitting Dustin Poirier at UFC 269. He has also faced off against notable opponents such as Beneil Dariush, Arman Tsarukyan, and Michael Chandler. After trading a win and a loss with Dariush and Tsarukyan, Oliveira defeated Chandler again.
If Ilia Topuria defends his belt against Arman Tsarukyan, Paddy Pimblett may face Justin Gaethje in a title eliminator bout. This may leave Oliveira with the loser of either fight to get himself back in the position of a second crack at UFC gold. Charles Oliveira, however, does not think Pimblett will be the one to face Tsarukyan next. Instead, he believes Tsarukyan will challenge for the title.
As Oliveira prepares to return to the Octagon against Fiziev, he is using this fight to cement his status as one of the world's best 155lbs fighters. Fans in Brazil are eagerly awaiting this highly anticipated match, and Oliveira is ready to deliver an unforgettable performance.
