It looks like the rematch we were supposed to get earlier this year at UFC 294 could finally be taking place this January at UFC 297 as UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev faces former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira.

Ariel Helwani first reported the news, but also reported that the title fight is not finalized at this time.

There were also reports that UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski was defending against Ilia Topuria at UFC 297, but Helwani also reports that the plans are for that fight to happen in February.
