Analyst and former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen claims that Charles Oliveira doesn't want to fight with Islam Makhachev, and he himself told Sonnen about this three times.

“How did Charles find the motivation to take part in a challenger fight when it would lead him to something he didn’t want? He is great and has proven to be the second best fighter in the division. That's damn impressive, but I'll tell you something. This is not Chael's opinion. I learned this from him. He told me three times that he didn’t want to fight Islam Makhachev,” Sonnen said.
