UFC: Do Bronx offers himself as backup for Makhachev vs Tsarukyan

Number 2 in the ranking and coming off a recent victory against Michael Chandler, Charles Oliveira is seen as the next oriundo challenger for the lightweight belt (70 kg), which will be contested in January 2025, in the duel between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan. But the Brazilian's long-awaited 'title shot' could come sooner than expected. After all, 'Do Bronx' confirmed that he will be in Los Angeles (USA) to follow UFC 311 closely and took the opportunity to offer himself as reserve fighter for the 'main event' of the numbered show.

In an interview with 'TNT Sports', the former category champion highlighted that an eventual preparation as a luxury substitute would not be so delicate, since, in his view, Tsarukyan and Makhachev have similar fighting styles. If the top leadership of Ultimate accepts the Brazilian's suggestion, Charles could return to compete for the company's belt on January 18th if any type of unforeseen event or injury occurs to one of the two competitors originally scheduled for the main fight.

“I think they have a very similar game, Islam has a bit of 'timing', his striking has evolved a lot. But Tsarukyan is also a very tough guy. For me, it doesn't matter (who wins). I'm next in line, but I think it's going to be a great fight. Definitely (I'll be in Los Angeles). I have to be sitting in the front row, even next to the cage (laughs). If the UFC wants (me as a reserve fighter), why not?”, projected the greatest finisher in the history of Ultimate.

Islam and Arman keep an eye on Charles

In addition to being considered 'next in line' by the specialized press and MMA fans, Do Bronx is also already appearing on the radar of Makhachev and Tsarukyan. If the Armenian becomes champion for the first time, he has already made it clear that he would like to defend his belt against the jiu-jitsu specialist in a rematch. And the same can be said for the Russian wrestler, who, in an exclusive interview with Ag Fightpraised Charles and left the doors open for a second clash between the two in the future.
