Oliveira wants Gaethje rematch for two titles

Charles Oliveira has publicly stated his desire for a rematch with Justin Gaethje. The former UFC lightweight champion envisions the bout taking place for both the BMF and lightweight titles. Oliveira recalled their previous fight at UFC 274 in May 2022, where he missed weight but went on to submit Gaethje after an early knockdown.

Now, with Gaethje holding the BMF title, Oliveira sees a strong narrative for a second encounter. He emphasized that the location is not a barrier, indicating readiness to fight anywhere. However, the UFC faces a decision as other contenders, like the winner of Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy, are also in line for a title shot. Oliveira's withdrawal from a previously scheduled fight with Tsarukyan due to a personal loss was understandable.
