UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira announced his willingness to move down to the featherweight division if offered a title fight.

“If I was given the opportunity to fight for the title and given time, I would have done it. Today I have a good nutritionist, a great team that will help me with this and make it possible. But only if it is a title fight,” Oliveira said.

Oliveira won the vacant title on May 15 at UFC 262 by knocking out Michael Chandler in the second round.
