Dustin Poirier returned to the winning track last Saturday. night (June 27, 2020) on UFC ESPN 12 after defeating Dan Hooker in a memorable lightweight fight for all ages in Las Vegas, Nevada (see again here).
And while here at Mania we suggest that Poirier fight his former interim 155-pound champion Tony Ferguson, Charles Oliveira has other plans. “Do Bronx” turned to social media to ask for a fight against “The Diamond” and presented his always impressive resume to present his case.
“I just want to know that it’s okay, it’s missing to be able to have my chance because there are seven consecutive victories 5 presentations 2 knockouts. And here I was born to fight to be in a war inside the Octagon. ”
In fact, Oliveira has accumulated seven consecutive victories (all finals), five by knockout and two presentations. Charles (ranking number 7) was last seen choking Kevin Lee at UFC Fight Night 170 last March (see here), which was the last event to fall before the promotion was suspended for two months due to COVID- 19.
His current streak is the longest in his UFC career, and the longest since he accumulated 14 in a row to begin his professional MMA career. In its last nine wins, “Do Bronx” has collected seven post-fight bonus awards, totaling 14 in total.
But before “Do Bronx” begins to focus on Poirier, there is a small matter of a contract extension.
