MMA legend Charles Oliveira will defend his BMF title in the main event of UFC 335 on December 12 in Las Vegas!

The promotion announced the exciting news during tonight's UFC 332 main card broadcast.

Oliveira (37-11 MMA) will square off with fan favorite Diego Lopes (28-8 MMA) in his first attempted defense of the BMF belt.

Charles Oliveira captured the BMF title this past March at UFC 326, earning a lopsided decision win over Max Holloway. Prior to that, ‘Do Bronx' was coming off a second-round submission victory over Mateusz Gamrot.

Meanwhile, Diego Lopes most recently competed at June's UFC Freedom 250 event, where he scored a second-round knockout victory over Steve Garcia (see that here). That triumph was preceded by a unanimous decision loss to Alex Volkanovski.

UFC 335 will be co-headlined by a five-round heavyweight clash featuring Alex Pereira taking on Sergei Pavlovich.

Alex Pereira (13-4 MMA) most previously competed inside of the Octagon this past June at UFC Freedom 250, where he suffered a second-round TKO loss to Ciryl Gane in a fight for the promotion's interim heavyweight title.

Prior to that setback, ‘Poatan' was coming off a first-round TKO victory over Magomed Ankalaev to reclaim the UFC's coveted light heavyweight championship. Pereira would later vacate that title in order to compete in the promotion's heavyweight division.

As for Sergei Pavlovich (21-3 MMA), the hard-hitting Russian is currently riding a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming by way of first-round knockout over Tallison Teixeira this past May at UFC Macau. The 34-year-old has gone 8-2 over his past ten Octagon appearances overall.

Movsar Evloev warns Alexander Volkanovski: He hasnt beaten anyone like me

Movsar Evloev warns Alexander Volkanovski: 'He hasn't beaten anyone like me'
Movsar
Evloev says he has pushed himself harder than ever ahead of his
first UFC title shot.

Evloev (20-0) is scheduled to challenge Alexander
Volkanovski (28-4) for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Ahead of the
bout, the unbeaten Russian discussed how his preparations have
differed from previous training camps.

Movsar Evloev details toughest training camp ahead of Alexander
Volkanovski title fight at UFC 333

Evloev said he increased his workload across all aspects of
training to address any potential weaknesses. He believes that
preparation will help him showcase his abilities in Saturday's main
event.

“This preparation is different just because I pushed more than
ever,†Evloev said in a pre-fight interview. “And we did more of
everything to make sure we didn't miss anything. He hasn't beaten
anyone like me. There's many things that make me special, like
unique. And I'm about to show it Saturday.â€

Evloev has long been considered a leading featherweight contender,
with Volkanovski acknowledging him as the most deserving
challenger. However, Diego Lopes
received a title rematch against Volkanovski earlier this year
before Evloev earned his opportunity. The Russian's lack of UFC
finishes has fueled debate about his wait for a championship bout,
though the promotion has not established it as the reason for the
delay.

Joshua Van: Sean Strickland ‘in a bad spot’ in Dana White feud over UFC pay

Joshua Van: Sean Strickland ‘in a bad spot’ in Dana White feud over UFC pay

Joshua Van sides with UFC boss Dana White in his public feud with Sean Strickland.

For Van, the UFC's flyweight champion, the matter should have been discussed behind closed doors instead of a public forum like social media.

“He just signed a contract in May and fought Khamzat, and then he won,†Van told Outta Pocket. “Instead of going on Twitter and going on all that [expletive], he should have talked to Dana and said, ‘I wanna renegotiate.' Behind closed doors. Then the boss would have been like, ‘OK, let's talk about this, what you want?' You just beat the boogeyman. Now it's a whole mess.â€

“If you work at a 9-to-5 job and you go off to your boss and you're like, pay me this much. Like, what the [expletive]? You know what I mean? So he's in a bad spot right now. He's still under the contract. I don't know how that's gonna work.â€

A 25-year-old flyweight champion who started his professional MMA career when Strickland already had 14 UFC bouts under his belt, Van agrees with Strickland that fighters should get paid more.

However, he doesn't sound unhappy with his current UFC contract. Van recently defended his 125-pound belt with a decision over Alexandre Pantoja, his third title bout win in a span of 10 months, including a fifth-round TKO over Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event of Chimaev vs. Strickland.

“I'm getting paid good,†Van said with a laugh. “I think they pay me good amount; I don't know, but fighter that think they deserve more or—like, should we get paid more? Yes, but, I don't know, I'm happy where I'm at. I start from zero to now, the UFC literally made me where I'm at, gave me everything that I got right now. I don't know, I'm happy right now. I can't really say for the other guy.â€
