Oliveira named the fighter he will fight if Makhachev advances to welterweight

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira discussed his future prospects in promotion.

Let us remind you that Oliveira was supposed to be the opponent of the current title holder Islam Makhachev at the UFC 294 tournament, but he received a cut during training and withdrew from the fight.

“You know, I’m not one of those who will make loud statements. I just do my job and get it done. Everyone else is selling themselves, selling their fights. Even Islam said that he could gain weight.

Perhaps in this case the UFC will want to arrange a fight for the interim title between me and Gaethje. Justin has a great story, he's a great guy, a great fighter with a lot of experience in the promotion, but I'm not one to send messages. I don’t need it,” Oliveira said in an interview with TNT Sports Argentina.
