Charles Oliveira Submits Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio, Eyes McGregor Payday and Holloway BMF Bout

Oliveira frames a McGregor matchup as a business move, with a potential June 2026 showcase under discussion.

Overview

  • The Brazilian finished Mateusz Gamrot by second-round submission in Rio de Janeiro to rebound from his June title loss.
  • Despite the victory, he remains No. 4 in the UFC lightweight rankings, according to post-event updates.
  • On the mic, he proposed facing Max Holloway next and suggested putting the BMF belt on the line.
  • Before the fight, he said a Conor McGregor bout interests him primarily for financial reasons and praised McGregor’s impact on the sport.
  • McGregor is serving an 18‑month CSAD suspension and would be eligible to compete in March 2026, and Oliveira signaled openness to a reported UFC White House event in June 2026, which has not been confirmed.
