Charles Oliveira is opening up on his UFC title loss to Islam Makhachev.<\/p>\n

It was Charles Oliveira (33-9 MMA) vs Islam Makhachev (23-1 MMA) this past October at UFC 280 where ‘do Bronx’ lost via submission<\/a>\u00a0at 3:16 of Round 2. It was a battle for the 155-pound belt which was vacant at the time, giving the Russian the new found title.<\/p>\n

Prior to that loss, Oliveira missed weight at UFC 274 and although defeating Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA) he was stripped of the lightweight title.<\/p>\n

Oliveira’s very impressive 11 fight winning streak had come to an end.<\/p>\n

During an interview with ‘Super Lutas’, Oliveira shared his thoughts on the loss against Makhachev (h\/t MMAMania<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst Makhachev, I didn\u2019t feel any pressure. He was just better than me. I haven\u2019t watched that fight back yet. It doesn\u2019t make any difference to me. It wasn\u2019t a bad night, it was just 15 bad minutes. Ten to 20 bad minutes. There\u2019s nothing else to say. You know I always tell the truth. I already thought about it, but there\u2019s no real explanation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing, Charles Oliveira said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t change anything in a rematch. I know how much I trained. As far as the fight goes, what can I say other than that Islam was better than me. I wouldn\u2019t change the camp nor the weight cut, I wouldn\u2019t change absolutely anything. I don\u2019t know exactly what happened, but Islam was better than me on that night.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As for what is next for the Brazilian, he’s taking a bit of time off before he ventures back into the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Makhachev, on the other hand, is preparing for the defence of his lightweight title in his upcoming battle with Alexander Volkanovski (25-1 MMA) which takes place on Saturday, February 11th at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.<\/p>\n
