Former Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira Returns To Brazil And Faces Budding Lightweight Contender Rafael Fiziev On October 11
For the first time since March 2020, Charles Oliveira will fight in Brazil. The former lightweight champion announced he is facing Rafael Fiziev in the main event scheduled for October 11 as he looks to bounce back and return to the winner’s circle.
“Do Bronxs” was last seen at UFC 317 fighting for the vacant lightweight title against Ilia Topuria where the Brazilian suffered a knockout loss. It was Oliveira’s second bid to regain his title and came three years after Islam Makhachev bested him at UFC 280.
