Charles Oliveira Has A Chance To Recapture The Title
2 years agoTechnically a challenger for the UFC lightweight title in the main event of UFC 280 on Saturday, Charles Oliveira (33-8) never lost his title. His championship was stripped prior to his matchup with Justin Gaethje in his last matchup at UFC 274. Though victorious, Oliveira did not qualify to earn the title back because he missed weight. The all-time submission wins leader in UFC history (16), Oliveira will battle a dangerous Russian ground specialist in Islam Makhachev. DraftKings sees the former champion as the underdog with a salary of $7,800. Throughout his UFC career, Oliveira averages 72.9 fantasy points per contest. It would not be a surprise if we see Oliveira catch Makhachev in a submission if he becomes too aggressive while rushing in on the former champion.
