The Brazilian champion missed weight in his title defense against Justin Gaethje, which forced the <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> to strip him off his title. The common consensus is that a fight between Oliveira and Makhachev for the lightweight belt will take place sometime in the second half of the year. While many fans and pundits alike believe that Makhachev is the biggest test for Oliveira at this point in time, the last man to defeat \u2018Do Bronx\u2019 feels there is another top-ranked fighter that is a bigger threat than Khabib Nurmagomedov\u2019s protege.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/breaking-marlon-vera-gets-his-demand-for-a-big-match-as-fight-against-dominick-cruz-planned-for-august\/\">BREAKING:- Marlon Vera Gets His Demand for a Big Match as Fight Against Dominick Cruz Planned for August<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Paul Felder names a bigger threat than Islam Makhachev for Charles Oliveira<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview, Felder suggested that Beneil Dariush might be a bigger challenge for Oliveira than Makhachev.

Because \u2014 and vice versa, I said the same thing when Khabib [Nurmagomedov] was still around \u2014 I always said that I thought Charles would be one of the bigger threats to him because of his style and the way he grapples and accepts bottom position but is so dangerous from there.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-388348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image02-7.jpeg\" alt=\"Charles Oliveira\" width=\"640\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image02-7.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image02-7-240x300.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Felder continued,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI think a guy like Charles, you\u2019ve got to get somebody [like Dariush]. The way he ran through Tony [Ferguson] was impressive.

It doesn\u2019t matter if you have great takedown defense against Charles Oliveira. He will find a way to your back.
