He then spoke to the UFC after the event and hinted at potentially facing Max Holloway soon.

In the video with subtitles, Oliveira spoke about the first time he fought Holloway and brought up his injury. The Brazilian lost to Holloway in 2015 and seems keen to run it back.

This would be a huge fight for the promotion and there seems to be interest from both sides to take this forward.


Max Holloway lays down conditions for Charles Oliveira rematch

Max Holloway, who is the current BMF title holder in the UFC, shared a timeline and location where he wants to fight Charles Oliveira.

Holloway is coming off an impressive win over Dustin Poirier where the latter retired. The American wants the fight to take place in March 2026 and does not want to wait for the White House card scheduled for June next year.

Furthermore, he wants the location of the fight to be Las Vegas. Holloway was speaking on his Kick stream and confirmed his desire to face Oliveira.

“Fight in Las Vegas or something. We're fighting on my terms, brother.”

Oliveira also quickly responded to this message from ‘Blessed’ adding that he was ready to fight anywhere and March was the perfect date for the “perfect fight.”

Oliveira is a former UFC lightweight champion while Holloway held the UFC featherweight title. A clash between the pair would be box office given their highlight-reel finishes and willingness to strike.

The Brazilian’s last fight was a win over Mateusz Gamrot just a few weeks back.
