Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira of Brazil revealed that he plans to fight for the title again later this year.
Islam will fight in February and I'll fight in March-April with someone to beat, that would put me in a title fight by the end of the year. I'm sure I just need one victory. I'll fight in March-April, and then I'll fight again for the title at the end of the year.
