Oliveira targets McGregor fight in May
UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira spoke about the desire to fight with the former champion of the promotion in two divisions Conor McGregor May 7th at UFC 274 in Rio de Janeiro.
“May will be a great option. Conor invited me to meet and tweeted Ireland v Brazil 2. Not only he, but me, the whole world wants to see this fight. So let's arrange it. I'm expecting him in May. The fight can take place in light, welterweight or middleweight. With or without my title at stake. Just make a choice and I will be ready, "- quotes the words of the Brazilian Sherdog.
On December 12, at UFC 269, Oliveira defended his belt for the first time by defeating Dustin Poirier via rear naked choke in the third round.
