Charles Oliveira Targets Lightweight Title Shot with Win at UFC 335

Charles Oliveira is focused on securing his path back to the top of the lightweight division as he prepares for his upcoming main event at UFC 335 on December 12. Oliveira is set to defend the BMF title against Diego Lopes, a matchup that the former champion believes will earn him another opportunity to compete for the UFC lightweight championship.

Addressing the state of the division, Oliveira commented on the status of current champion Justin Gaethje, who unified the titles with a win over Ilia Topuria in June. Oliveira expressed a belief that Gaethje should contemplate his future in the sport, suggesting that the champion might not see another payday of similar magnitude. Despite these remarks, Oliveira remains firm that his primary motivation is reclaiming the lightweight belt, regardless of who occupies the throne.

Oliveira’s focus remains singular: a dominant performance against Lopes. While the landscape of the 155-pound division remains fluid, the Brazilian veteran is confident that a victory in December will make a title challenge undeniable in the eyes of the promotion. Oliveira’s path highlights his persistent championship aspirations as he navigates a challenging BMF title defense in what promises to be a high-stakes headliner for the promotion.
