Former UFC lightweight champion Brazilian Charles Oliveira revealed when he might fight next and named a possible opponent.
I'm determined to fight in April and then fight for the title at the end of the year. Everyone is talking about Beneil Dariush as my opponent. If the UFC thinks Dariush is right for me, good. But we'll see what I decide.

Last May, at UFC 274, he defeated Justin Gaethje by submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round. The 33-year-old Oliveira has 33 wins and nine losses under his belt.
