Charles do Bronx is back in the UFC with a new lease on life. It's all thanks to his last fight. In October, in Rio de Janeiro (BRA), the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) returned to winning ways by submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the second round, showcasing his skill and proving his worth in the top 3 of the division. Now, the Brazilian is already focused on his next fight and is making his intentions clear.

It's no secret that Charles is looking to face Max Holloway for the 'BMF' (Baddest Motherfucker in the UFC) belt, but not only that. The company's top finisher and bonus collector makes it clear that his focus is on delivering epic fights against the biggest names in MMA.

Therefore, Do Bronx doesn't treat the Hawaiian as his only opponent option, but rather broadens his range of possibilities. While still considering himself competitive, the Brazilian aims to face high-level fighters, as this is the best way to get closer to another title shot.

“I really want to fight for the belt again. As I said before UFC Rio, it has to be against the guys who are going to take me to the belt,” said the former UFC champion.

Interestingly, last Saturday (1st), Charles was in Las Vegas (USA), assisting Allan Puro Osso and Norma Dumont , his teammates at 'Chute Boxe Diego Lima', at UFC Vegas 110 and spoke with the organization's top brass. On his official 'Instagram' account, the athlete posted a photo with Dana White and Hunter Campbell with the following caption: “With the bosses. News to come.”

What's at stake in Charles vs. Holloway?

If the UFC officially confirms the fight between Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway , it will be a rematch. Besides being for the 'BMF' belt, currently held by 'Blessed' Oliveira, the Brazilian could have the chance to avenge his loss to Oliveira in 2015. And it doesn't stop there. With the Brazilian ranked third in the lightweight division and the American fourth, the winner of the fight is likely to challenge the champion next.
