Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has confidence to burn ahead of his return at UFC 317 next month, claiming the divisional crown will return to his waist — from where is should not have “left” as far as he’s concerned.
Oliveira, the current number two ranked divisional contender, has been sidelined since November of last year, landing a second career win over former title challenger, Michael Chandler.
It came as his second win over the former Bellator MMA kingpin, following a prior knockout win over the veteran to scoop the vacant lightweight crown in a main event clash back in 2021.
