According to the UFC president, Charles Oliveira’s next opponent may be Justin Gaethje, however, the third number of the UFC lightweight rankings is not eager to fight the former interim division champion.
The manager of the Brazilian Diego Lima told MMA Fighting about this.
“I sincerely believe that he deserves to fight for the title right now,” Lima said. “He won eight straight wins, beat Kevin Lee spectacularly, and then declassified Ferguson, one of the best in the division. Charles showed himself enough to fight for the championship belt “
“With all due respect, Khabib defeated Gaethje. This cannot be ignored. I am convinced that Charles’ next fight should be for the title against the winner of the Poirier vs. McGregor fight, not Gaethje. But we understand that a lot depends on the fight between Poirier and McGregor. Poirier’s victory means one scenario, and McGregor’s victory in another. If we have no choice but to fight Gaethje, I see Charles will beat him in all aspects. If this fight is scheduled, we will carefully study Gaethje’s skills and win. “
Earlier, Charles Oliveira announced that he plans to attend the duel between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, who will lead UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi on January 23, to personally challenge the winner of this confrontation.
