EXPLAINED: Charles oliveira sends message to islam makhachev after ufc 311 i m next | Vintage Vibes

Charles Oliveira is eager to run it back with Islam Makhachev after seeing what unfolded in the UFC 311 main event.

Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) easily dispatched of replacement opponent Renato Moicano by first-round submission on Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., and Oliveira (35-10 MMA, 23-10 UFC) was seated cageside for the title contest.

Arman Tsarukyan was originally scheduled to fight Makhachev on the card, but withdrew on weigh-in day due to injury. UFC CEO Dana White said the decision to pull out will cost him a title shot with Makhachev and he’ll need to win more fights, opening the question about who will be next to challenge the 155-pound champ.
