Charles Oliveira stops Beneil Darius in first round at UFC 289 before calling out Islam

Charles Oliveira has called for another title shot after shocking Beneil Darius with a first round knock out at UFC 289.

The 33-year-old ended Darius’ winning streak with a dominant showing as the referee stopped proceedings after just over four minutes into round one.

He never looked in trouble, and took control from the early stages, hitting his opponent in the head with a kick early on.

Darius recovered, but it was a matter of time until the bout was over and Oliveira’s hand was lifted.

He could now face lightweight champion Islam Makhachev again after losing his title when he missed weight ahead of their first meeting.

The two did face off, but Makhachev won by submission, however Oliveira is keen to get back in the octagon with his rival.

Darius, meanwhile, sees his eight-match winning streak come to an end and must go back the the drawing board as he looks to climb the ladder in the division.

He showed flashes of what he can do, particularly when the fight moved to the mat with the American initially on top.

Oliveira, meanwhile, called out Makhachev after the fight, saying: ‘You want me to fight him in his house? I’ll go. I’m ready.’

UFC president Dana White said the rematch ‘makes a lot of sense,’ while Makhachev himself tweeted: ‘Congrats Charles. But still there’s levels in this game.’
