Charles Oliveira has not ruled out moving back to featherweight to chase a third UFC title in 2026, stating he can still make 145 pounds if opportunities arise. The former lightweight champion, who struggled to cut to featherweight earlier in his career, now fights Max Holloway for the BMF title at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas. Oliveira envisions winning the BMF belt, then the lightweight title later this year, before relinquishing both to challenge at featherweight. This ambition could reshape the featherweight division, currently led by Alexander Volkanovski, by introducing a proven champion. Fans await if Oliveira's post-fight success materializes his 'dream' scenario.
