UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira commented on the outcome of the Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor fight on July 10 at UFC 264.

At the end of the first round, McGregor suffered a broken leg and was unable to continue the fight. Poirier was awarded with the victory by TKO.

"It is sad. We never want fighters to lose like that, but it happens, so I congratulate Poirier. This is MMA, our sport is unpredictable. We never know what might happen. The fight with Dustin should have taken place a long time ago, so if it happens, I'm ready,” Oliveira said in an interview with Megan Olivi.
