Charles “Du Bronx” Oliveira will defend his belt for the first time against one of the toughest fighter in the Lightweight Division Dustin Poirier.
Dustin fought Conor McGregor at UFC 264. Unfortunately, this fight was stopped due to serious leg break injury to Conor in round number one.
Charles Oliveira fought Michael Chandler for the vacant Lightweight Title. Where he managed to defeat Chandler by second round KO.
Actuaally, Dustin was waiting for Conor to heal up and get back in there to face him but Conor will not be able to compete untill mid 2022 due to his injury and that forced UFC to book Charles Vs. Dustin.
At UFC 268 Justin Gaethje defeated Michael Chandler in a crazy brawl fight. Which most probably secured him next title shot.
However, If Dustin wins and Conor come back then probably he will jump over the que to fight Dustin Poirier.
