Charles Oliveira criticized fighters who claimed they were ready to replace Fiziev and fight him, but now refuse to fight.
“Everyone knows that my fight with Fiziev will not take place. However, one should not believe those fighters who say, ‘I’m here and ready to fight’. When the UFC calls them, they usually respond: ‘Oh, we don’t have enough time to make the weight category. Oh, I can’t’. They write these posts on social media to create a buzz. But it doesn’t make sense.
I saw one fighter say one thing, and another say something else. But when they get a call from the UFC, they say: ‘Oh, I can’t. I have a stomach ache. I broke my finger, cut my hand’. Enough of that. It doesn’t look very good.”
