Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos thinks Conor McGregor is avoiding a fight with Charles Oliveira.
“Did you see how recently Oliveira challenged McGregor? And Conor avoids him. It is obvious that he does not want to fight Charles - this is a bad fight for him.
And then they want to put him against this monster Makhachev. It looks like Charles will accept the fight against Islam, hoping that Khabib will then resume his career to fight him,” Dos Santos said in an interview with Podpah.
Recall that the fight between Oliveira and Makhachev has already been officially announced. The fight for the vacant lightweight title will take place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi at UFC 280.
