Charles Oliveira showed a strong ability to bounce back on Saturday when he decisively put away Beneil Dariush in the first round of the UFC 289 co-main event.
After losing the lightweight title to Islam Makhachev in October, Oliveira (34-9 MMA, 22-9 UFC) made it clear he’s still very much a factor in the division with a first-round TKO of Dariush at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Afterward, he called for a rematch with Makhachev (24-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC).
Is that the fight to make, or is it possible the promotion goes another direction with the 155-pound champ? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Oliveira’s future after UFC 289.
