Watch: Charles Oliveira wins the fighter of the year award after 3 stunning wins over top lightweights this year

Due to his inability to make weight before UFC 274 last month, Charles Oliveira is no longer the UFC lightweight champion, but it is anticipated that he will make another attempt at the title in his upcoming fight. Conor McGregor would compete against Oliveira for the vacant championship if Oliveira had his way. Makhachev is 10-1 and has won his last 10 matches in the UFC’s lightweight division. In a last-minute catchweight match this year, he TKO’d Bobby Green. He submitted Dan Hooker, Thiago Moises, and Drew Dober the previous year.

When asked about Islam, Olivera stated, “I’ve never ran from a fight and the lightweight champion is called Charles Oliveira. Is Islam a very tough guy? Yep. Did he fight big names? No. He’s on a big streak, but who did he fight?”

Charles and Islam, two of the top grapplers in the UFC, will face off for the lightweight title at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on October 22. Makhachev didn’t sign, but according to his manager Ali Abdelaziz, he verbally concurred to the terms. In order to indicate that he had signed, the former champion Oliveira, who dropped out of the fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 274 on May 6 because he didn’t make weight, posted an emoji of a pen on Twitter on Saturday.

Another good news for the former lightweight champion is that he was announced as the winner of the fighter of the year. He targets men like Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier like never before, These are the world’s most dangerous males. He is prepared to enter the ring, let you guys punch him in the face, be knocked to the ground repeatedly, rise back up, and find a way to raise his hand. He is demonstrating his superiority each and every time he enters the octagon. Hence, the award is easily justified due to his recent performance.
