Charles Oliveira's reign as a UFC Lightweight Champion came to an unfortunate end after UFC introduced the new rule.

Charles Oliveira's comparison to Khabib Nurmagomedov might lose the interest

It also highlights Charles Oliveira's previous weight misses.

Oliveira has missed weight a total of five times in his UFC career,

Additionally, it takes away the debate of being the greatest lightweight fighter of all time since missing weight is considered unprofessional.

Can Charles Oliveira win?

Oliveira is the first UFC fighter that the UFC has stripped owing to failure in weight cut.
