Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira will attend UFC 311 to watch the highly anticipated rematch between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan. While Oliveira is currently recovering from a recent injury, he has confirmed that he has been offered to act as a backup fighter for the main event. Oliveira stated, “I am ready for the opportunity and I’m going to be in the front row watching this fight. I’m the next in line for a title shot.” The event is set to take place on January 12, 2025, in Las Vegas. Makhachev is defending his title for the first time against Tsarukyan, who poses a formidable challenge after their initial fight in 2019 which Makhachev won by unanimous decision. UFC 311 is expected to draw a significant crowd, and Oliveira’s presence adds another layer of excitement as fans anticipate who will emerge victorious in what promises to be an explosive match-up.
