"UFC 294: Last-Minute Rebuilding and Title Shot Concerns"

UFC CEO Dana White is uncertain about the future of Charles Oliveira and Dricus Du Plessis following the last-minute changes to the UFC 294 event. With Alexander Volkanovski replacing Oliveira to rematch Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title, and Kamaru Usman stepping in for injured Paulo Costa to fight Khamzat Chimaev, the title shot opportunities for Oliveira and Du Plessis are now unclear. White acknowledged that if Volkanovski wins, a trilogy fight with Makhachev would likely happen, leaving Oliveira's future uncertain. As for Du Plessis, who was offered a title shot but couldn't compete due to injury, White simply stated that he will end up fighting someone, without specifying his position in the title-shot pecking order.
