Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira reacted to the challenge from Mateusz Gamrot.
"Gamrot really deserves respect, he's putting on a great showing. However, with all due respect, I'm looking forward, not backwards. Let my managers deal with it, today everybody wants to challenge Charles, everybody wants to fight guys who are ahead. That's the way we play the game.
We always have to be ready to fight. But right now I have to think hard, see what happens. Perhaps in the future, Mateusz and I will share the octagon, but now, I think, is not the time for this match," - quotes Oliveira MMA News.
