Khabib Nurmagomedov is adamant that his protege Islam Makhachev must fight Charles Oliveira next.
The Brazilian underlined his status as the best lightweight on the planet by beating Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 - even though he was stripped of the title for missing weight.
While he is no longer the champion, Oliveira is technically the No 1 contender and has been guaranteed a fight for the belt next.
