Islam Makhachev dethroned Charles Oliveira with a dominant submission win at UFC 280 in October. The former lightweight champion has since gone missing from the title picture as Makhachev is scheduled to fight featherweight champion and pound-for-pound king Alexander Volkanovksi at UFC 284 in February.However, 'do Bronx' doesn't consider himself too far removed from the lightweight title scenario. Oliveira, in fact, is confident of being just a single victory away from getting another shot at UFC gold.The former UFC champion is looking to fight in March-April, which will set him up for an immediate title shot at the end of the year. Charles Oliveira said in a recent interview with Ag.Fight:"I've been a long way from that belt. Today I'm one fight away from him. UFC knows that, knows what I want. I didn't come here to play, I came to make history. I want to fight around the end of March, April, that's my timing. I need to fight on that date. And I need a guy who, [if I win against], will definitely be the next challenger for the title. Because he [Islam] will fight now in February. So I, in March, April, caught a guy who puts me in front of the goal again for the title at the end of the year. For sure [just one more fight to the belt]. Now I fight in March, April and at the end of the year for the title again” h/t Ag.FightWatch Charles Oliveira's interview below:Place your bets for the upcoming UFC fight night main card and earn $$$.Charles Oliveira reveals potential opponent who can propel him towards the titleAnother deserving contender who's missing out from the immediate title scenario is Beneil Dariush.

Beneil Dariush. #UFC https://t.co/VvB5VjSnvnCharles Oliveira wonders if Dairush might exactly be the opponent he's seeking. Citing similarities between himself and 'Benny', 'do Bronx' further told Ag.Fight:“With Dariush, the same thing happened to me. He stayed outside the Top 5 for a long time, wanting the opportunity. I understood why people don't give that opportunity, they don't want people to enter the Top 5. Dariush comes from a huge winning streak, he comes from the same school as me, Chute Boxe. But that's how I talked to Diego [Lima], 'Could it be that this is the fight that would put me straight in the fight for the belt?'”
