Off the back of his victory over striking ace, Rafael Fiziev last night in the main event of UFC Vegas 79, Polish grappling talent, Mateusz Gamrot has claimed he wants to test his grappling ability in the future against former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira.

Gamrot, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of European outfit, KSW, landed a second round TKO win over Tiger Muay Thai striking ace, Fiziev last night in the main event of UFC Vegas 79, after the latter suffered a knee injury after a miscued kick attempt.

The victory came as number seven rated, Gamrot’s second consecutively, after he previously scored a split decision win over Jalin Turner at the lightweight limit back in March at UFC 285.

And in the immediate aftermath of his TKO win over Fiziev last night, Gamrot reminded viewers of his grappling ability – claiming he would love to test his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu prowess against the promotion’s most prolific submission grappler, Oliveira.

“Everybody [says] I am a wrestler, I am a striker, I really believe in myself [as a grappler],” Mateusz Gamrot told assembled media after UFC Vegas 79. “I won many BJJ tournaments, and I won two times at the ADCC trials. In the next one, I would like to test myself against Charles Oliveira because he’s the most dangerous guy on the ground.”

“My previous opponents every time it is stand up and like the ground is hot for everybody,” Mateusz Gamrot explained. “But the next one, I would like to challenge myself on the ground, you know, I want to show my really good skills in Jiu-Jitsu. I want to show how good I am on the ground, and I think this guy will be the first guy in my career who’s gonna fight with me on the ground.”

Booking his return at UFC 294 next month, Oliveira takes on undisputed lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev in the pair’s championship rematch atop an Abu Dhabi, UAE pay-per-view card.

Makhachev, the current undisputed lightweight champion, is set to headline UFC 294 next month in Abu Dhabi, UAE, taking on Sao Paulo finishing ace, Oliveira in the pair’s championship rematch.

First meeting a year ago at the same venue in the Middle East, Islam Makhachev finally minted himself as the undisputed lightweight champion, defeating Oliveira with a second round arm-triangle submission win to clinch the vacant crown and snap the former champion’s division-best 12-fight winning streak.

Defending the crown once in the time since, the American Kickboxing Academy mainstay defeated pound-for-pound number one and undisputed featherweight titleholder, Alexander Volkanovski back in February at UFC 284 in a close, debated unanimous decision triumph.

And despite returning to the winner’s enclosure back in Jue with a blistering first round TKO win over Beneil Dariush in Canada to set up a title rematch with Makhachev, Oliveira simply is on a level below his Russian adversary, according to recent UFC 293 winner, Haqparast.

“I think Islam (Makhachev) is really like, pound-for-pound number one,” Nasrat Haqparast told assembled media after UFC 293. “He’s gonna show his class. I’ve trained with Islam, he’s a good friend of mine. We trained in Las Vegas two years ago. He’s a great guy, I love him.”

“He’s a different level, he’s gonna destory Charles Oliveira, and hopefully get the pound-for-pound number one [spot],” Haqparast explained. (Transcribed by MMA News)

Furthermore, ahead of his championship rematch with Oliveira, Makhachev has also been offered a title re-run against the above-mentioned, Volkanovski, who suggested a rematch next year at UFC 300.

Slated to headline UFC 294 in October in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Oliveira takes on Makhachev for the second time in a year, attempting to reclaim the undisputed lightweight crown in the pair’s championship rematch in the Middle East.

In the pair’s first matchup, Oliveira saw his division-best 12-fight winning run to a stark end, suffering a dominant second round arm-triangle submission loss to Makhachev in the duo’s vacant title fight.

Rebounding successfully in the time since, Sao Paulo finisher, Oliveira turned in an impressive first round win over Iranian contender, Beneil Dariush at UFC 289 back in June, stopping the Kings MMA staple with a slew of first round ground strikes in Canada.

And booking a title affair with Makhachev for the second time, Oliveira claimed he would avoid a “mistake” against the American Kickboxing Academy staple.

“That’s the only fight I talked crap [in], the fight against Islam (Makhachev),” Charles Oliveira told MMA Fighting. “I made a mistake. I won’t make that mistake again. We can only make mistakes once in life. When you make a mistake once, you can’t do it second time, otherwise you’ll go won nonstop. I won’t do it again.”

“I think God only gives you burdens as heavy as you can carry, and I’m sure God is taking me to Abu Dhabi because he has something different for me,” Charles Oliveira explained. “The same month, the same date, once again spending my birthday there. I’ll work harder than ever to make this happen. We’ll make history, I’ll become champion if Lord Jesus wants [it]. And then, why not – we throw a big part on November 4. in Brazil.”

BMF titleholder Justin Gaethje is not the same man that fought Oliveira last year: ‘I am a different person’

Justin Gaethje doesn’t recognize the man that stepped inside the Octagon with Charles Oliveira at UFC 274. ‘The Highlight’ has been dubbed as the promotion’s most dangerous fighter following his stunning second-round head kick KO against Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last month. But just last year, Justin Gaethje was a completely different fighter. In […]

Justin Gaethje doesn’t recognize the man that stepped inside the Octagon with Charles Oliveira at UFC 274.

‘The Highlight’ has been dubbed as the promotion’s most dangerous fighter following his stunning second-round head kick KO against Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last month. But just last year, Justin Gaethje was a completely different fighter. In fact, he was so different that Gaethje doesn’t even recognize himself when looking back on his disastrous title tilt with former lightweight world champion Charles Oliveira.

“I made a huge mistake and I really got caught up in the moment when I fought Charles Oliveira,” Gaethje told ESPN. “Like if you look at the difference between my walkout in this fight and the Charles Oliveira fight, like, I am a different person. I do not recognize the person that fought Oliveira. It’s still a battle that I’m going to face every single time I step in there, to not get caught up in the what are we doing, what’s it for.

“Outside of just being present and trusting in my preparation and trusting in my intuition and being calm in that sense or in that arena, and I think again it was just a mistake I made,” Gaethje continued. “It was kind of the last learning lesson that I needed because I still wasn’t convinced that whether I’m aggressive or not aggressive, I didn’t think that was a huge factor. I thought I would still perform the same way but it certainly was a detriment to my performance that night” (h/t MMA Junkie).

With his BMF title win over Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje solidified himself as the next man in line for a lightweight title opportunity.

Justin Gaethje’s Next Opponent Will Be Revealed in Abu Dhabi

On October 21, the promotion will return to Abu Dhabi for UFC 294, featuring a rematch between Oliveira and reigning 155-pound king, Islam Makhachev. The winner will likely be tasked with defending the title against Gaethje in early 2024.

When the time comes, Justin Gaethje will be 100% ready to put on a performance, just as he did against ‘The Diamond’ in Salt Lake City.

“I’m skipping towards the cage, I’m singing a song that I don’t even understand the words to, kind of like Dustin came out, just hyped up,” Gaethje said. “Dustin came out for a war and I gave him a ballet, and it was the best thing I could have done. I mean he was expecting a war and I gave him the opposite. I guarantee that frustrated him and he was probably very surprised, and it was perfect. It worked out perfect on my end.”

Former UFC champ Charles Oliveira is ready to throw hands with Conor McGregor: ‘I’m just waiting for him’

Charles Oliveira is ready to throw hands with Irish megastar Conor McGregor whenever the former champ-champ decides he wants to strap on some gloves instead of running his mouth on social media. For some time, ‘Do Bronx’ was the number one name on Conor McGregor’s hit list, particularly after Oliveira captured the lightweight world title […]

Charles Oliveira is ready to throw hands with Irish megastar Conor McGregor whenever the former champ-champ decides he wants to strap on some gloves instead of running his mouth on social media.

For some time, ‘Do Bronx’ was the number one name on Conor McGregor’s hit list, particularly after Oliveira captured the lightweight world title with a second-round knockout against Michael Chandler in 2021. Oliveira followed that up with impressive submission finishes against both Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Dubbed by many as the best lightweight in the history of the sport, it was just a matter of time before the Irishman targeted Oliveira.

Unfortunately, a mishap on the scale resulted in Charles Oliveira being stripped of the title, taking him off Conor McGregor’s radar for the time being.

Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, ‘Do Bronx’ made it clear that he is 100% ready to sign on the dotted line for a showdown with Conor McGregor. He’s just waiting for the Irishman to confirm the time and the place.

“What’s happening is that I’m here — I’m just waiting for him,” Oliveira said via a translator. “All he needs to do is tell me the place and the time, and I’ll be there” (h/t MMA Fighting).

Charles Oliveira Prepares for World Title Fight While Conor McGregor Trash-Talks on Twitter

Currently, Charles Oliveira is gearing up for a lightweight title rematch with reigning champion Islam Makhachev. The two men will run back their UFC 280 bout on October 21 when the promotion returns to Abu Dhabi. If ‘Do Bronx’ comes out on top, perhaps Conor McGregor will once again consider returning to take on the Brazilian superstar.

“I don’t know, I’m here — where is Conor?” ‘Do Bronx’ asked.

For now, Conor McGregor seems more interested in trashing every other fighter that actually steps into the cage, or the ring. Following Justin Gaethje’s highlight-reel knockout of Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last month, the Irishman immediately targeted the newly minted BMF titleholder, suggesting a fight between the two would be a one-sided affair.

McGregor also had nothing nice to say about Jake Paul or Nate Diaz’s performance following the pair’s 10-round boxing bout on Saturday night. With the former two-division titleholder calling out fighters from one end of the spectrum to the other, fans aren’t even sure which weight class he intends to compete in, should he make his long-awaited return. But for Charles Oliveira, it makes no difference.

“170, 183 [pounds], doesn’t matter,” Oliveira said. “All he needs to do is stop and do it.”

Charles Oliveira is currently gearing up for his highly anticipated return to the Octagon on October 21 for UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi.

‘Do Bronx’ will attempt to reclaim the lightweight world title as he runs it back with reigning champion Islam Makhachev in the evening’s massive main event. However, the announcement came as quite a surprise considering just weeks prior, Charles Oliveira revealed that he would not be adequately prepared to return in October for their title tilt. As it turns out, that was nothing more than a ploy by the former champ.

During an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Charles Oliveira revealed that his ruling out an October return was merely an attempt to get the fight moved to November when the promotion is expected to return to Brazil.

“What changed is that I just learned how to play,” Oliveira revealed through a translator. “What I knew is that the UFC was planning to maybe have a fight in Brazil in November. So I was trying to push it to November. I was playing with them. Obviously, it didn’t work so now I’m fighting in October, but that’s what I was doing.”

Charles Oliveira Seeks Redemption in Long-Awaited Rematch

Unfortunately for Charles Oliveira, his game plan didn’t work, but ‘Do Bronx’ did reveal that he was able to bank a little extra cash for his October clash with the Dagestani destroyer.

The bout will come almost exactly one year removed from their first meeting at UFC 280. On that night, Islam Makhachev made relatively easy work of Oliveira, scoring a second-round submission to capture the vacant lightweight title. Since then, Makhachev has defended the belt once in a Fight of the Year contender with Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284.

In June, Charles Oliveira returned to action and earned an impressive first-round TKO against Beneil Dariush to re-establish himself as the division’s top contender, setting the stage for a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov’s successor.
