Charles Oliveira Continues to Pursue Conor McGregor Fight: Demands Venue and Timing!
There’s a possibility that Charles Oliveira could contend for the UFC lightweight championship against Islam Makhachev, but his desire to face Conor McGregor remains steadfast.
On Monday, the previous UFC lightweight title holder responded to his recent online feud with McGregor, stating that he’s not impeding the process of arranging a potential fight down the line.
Following his victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 274, Oliveira extended a challenge to McGregor, a move that would have come after Oliveira’s second title defense had he not missed weight, leading to the forfeiture of the lightweight championship. McGregor responded enthusiastically to the challenge, initiating a series of exchanges that persisted intermittently.
Recently, McGregor has once again turned his focus towards a bout against Gaethje. Gaethje secured the “BMF” title at UFC 291 by delivering a knockout blow to McGregor’s longtime rival, Dustin Poirier. This situation has left McGregor’s anticipated upcoming adversary, Michael Chandler, in a state of uncertainty.

The recent verbal sparring between Oliveira and McGregor doesn’t guarantee a future matchup, considering McGregor’s tendency to verbally lash out at numerous MMA stars. His response is simply that he’s prepared in case the opportunity presents itself.
McGregor is expected to make his comeback in early 2024, whereas Oliveira is set to have a lightweight title rematch against Makhachev at UFC 294 in October.
Oliveira acknowledged that he employed a tactic of reluctance with the UFC to have the fight rescheduled for an event set in his native Brazil in November. However, the bout ended up being scheduled in Abu Dhabi.
Oliveira is confident that he’ll utilize the knowledge acquired from his first submission loss to Makhachev in his quest to recapture the title. In the eventuality of that occurring, it’s highly likely that McGregor will express his thoughts.
