UFC 283 proved to be a major success for the UFC, with the event drawing a large crowd. Many Brazilian fighters competed at the event, though not all of them emerged victorious. It was a fight between two of the biggest names in the UFC lightweight division. Charles Oliveira is a Brazilian MMA fighter and former UFC lightweight champion. He is widely regarded as one of the best Brazilian fighters in the sport today. On the other hand, Islam Makhachev is a juggernaut within the UFC lightweight division. As the reigning champion, he has dominated opponents with his impressive grappling skills and relentless fighting style. This raises the question of what the outcome may have been if Charles Oliveira had defended his belt against Islam Makhachev in Rio de Janeiro.

Oliveira began his MMA career in 2008 and quickly made a name for himself as a highly skilled and dangerous striker. He has since developed his grappling skills, becoming a well-rounded fighter with a wide range of techniques. Oliveira has fought in the UFC since 2010 and has compiled an impressive record of 29 wins and 8 losses. He is known for his aggressive style and relentless pace, which has led to many exciting and memorable fights.

But Makhachev is no less. With his combination of power, precision, and determination, Makhachev is a formidable opponent for anyone in the octagon. He is dedicated to his craft and continues to rise through the ranks of the UFC. He is one of the most exciting and talented fighters in the sport today and continues to inspire fans with his dedication to excellence.
