Charles Oliveira still undeniably is one of the best lightweights in the world after his UFC 309 win over Michael Chandler, and now he will seemingly get a chance to prove he is the best.

Oliveira (35-10 MMA, 23-10 UFC) had major success in Saturday’s rematch with Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) at Madison Square Garden in New York, earning a unanimous decision victory after five rounds to make him go up 2-0 in the series between them.

The result set the stage for Oliveira to challenge the winner of the next 155-pound title bout between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, which is targeted for January.

Could there by any curveballs coming his way, though? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Oliveira’s future after UFC 309.
