Charles Oliveira has called for a fight against Conor McGregor. McGregor is set to return to the octagon in June against Michael Chandler.
This would be McGregor’s fight in over two years. Despite this, Charles Oliveira has backed him to get the job done. Moreover, Oliveira even called out McGregor for a fight.
Interestingly, Oliveira suggested that he does not believe that Conor McGregor would like to fight him. He said:
“I think Conor [defeats Chandler]… Everyone knows, in fact I’ve asked for this fight against Conor a thousand times. But it’s a fight that, I don’t think he wants this fight and everyone knows it. It’s a fight that will bring me a lot of money, so I’d like it.”
