Former UFC Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira was unsuccessful in his attempt to regain his title against Islam Makhachev, but who could 'Do Bronx' be facing next?
Oliveira was stripped of his 155-pound championship ahead of his fight against Justin Gaethje back at UFC 274 in May 2022, and he will be hoping to regain it at some point down the line.
The Brazilian fighter was previously on an incredible winning streak before running into the teammate of Khabib Nurmagomedov, so his next bout could be a huge step in the right direction if he were to win.
Here is everything we know right now about Charles Oliveira's next fight in the UFC octagon, including who his opponent could be.

As of writing, we do not currently know officially who 'Do Bronx' will be competing against next inside the octagon, but there are a number of fighters he could compete against.
In terms of a genuine box office attraction, you can't really go bigger for Oliviera than a fight against Conor McGregor. It's not exactly likely, but putting the Irishman in the octagon against the former 155-pound Champion would likely perform very well at the box office.
