Naturally, after an impressive win for any champion, the question of \u2018what\u2019s next\u2019 pops up. In Oliveira\u2019s case, it seems extremely likely that his next challenger will be Islam Makhachev for the vacant <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> belt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview, former lightweight Gilbert Burns shared his thoughts on his compatriot&#8217;s chances against Makhachev. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe looked great,\u201d said Burns. \u201cFor sure, he got knocked down. I saw a couple of guys say, \u2018Oh he got knocked down, he got dropped [and] he lost before\u2019 but that was before. What happens is a couple guys have a record built, they have a lot of easy fights and they come with a lot of fights and undefeated, but this guy was in the fire since he was so young. He was in the UFC fighting the best guys. For sure, he got a couple of losses, but Charles Oliveira right now in 2022? Wow.\u201d<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HAoGT5-_oSo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Durinho\u2019 continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd I\u2019m a fan of the division,\u201d continued Burns. \u201cIf it were me, if Burns was the matchmaker, I would make Islam and Oliveira, for sure. And that\u2019s a fight that\u2019s very intriguing. I still believe Oliveira can get a win because the striking, the pressure that he does, the jiu-jitsu. People say, \u2018Oh, but the sambo\u2019 and yeah, I got it but Oliveira is huge for the division\u2026 I think he\u2019s on a different level.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/sean-omalley-uses-conor-mcgregor-example-to-share-why-the-ufc-will-allow-him-to-enter-the-boxing-ring\/\">Sean O\u2019Malley Uses Conor McGregor Example to Share Why the UFC Will Allow Him to Enter the Boxing Ring<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Charles Oliveira vs Islam Makhachev a fight for the ages to take place later this year?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the post-fight press conference at UFC 274, Dana White stated that he will most likely be working on a fight between Oliveira and Makhachev next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-387228 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-1.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Oliveira\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needless to say, this is the biggest fight that could be made in the lightweight division at the moment in terms of talent.
