Oliveira called the condition for the fight with Makhachev in Abu Dhabi
Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira announced that he would fight Islam Makhachev in the capital of the UAE only if the promotion pays him the required fee.
“Everyone is talking about this fight with Makhachev, and at the same time everyone knows that I want to have a money fight against Conor, right? Okay, if Islam has to perform in Abu Dhabi, then no problem - just pay me what I want.
It doesn't matter if it's in Abu Dhabi or even on the street - I don't care where we fight. But there is a price for everything,” the Brazilian said in an interview with The Schmo.

Recall that Oliveira missed the belt after a failed weigh-in before the fight with Justin Gaethje on May 8 at UFC 274. With an early victory over the American, Charles staked out the right to a title fight.
