Top Brazilian lightweight UFC Charles Oliveira refused to have a duel with Michael Chandler on February 13 at UFC 258. Ag Fight reported this, citing a source close to the promotion.

The source also reports that Oliveira is not interested in meeting the American if the championship belt is not at stake.

The 31-year-old Brazilian is on an impressive winning streak of eight fights, seven of which he won before the final bell. Oliveira had his last fight last December, defeating Tony Ferguson by decision.
