Oliveira’s latest stall tactics. Seems he’s losing his mind.
This is kind of bizarre because yesterday he said he was going to wait to fight Conor in January but now it seems he has accepted that fight is not happening and has new demands. The Volkanovski fight also fell through after he broke his hand yesterday so it seems like he’s doing whatever he can to stall because there is no Jan card in Brazil (typically booked in May)
Also, Khabib is a stout 200 lbs and retired 2 years ago, he turned down a huge money fight with Floyd.
Oliveira is doing everything in his power to move the goalposts.
I wanna see him fight Islam but he has every right not to take the fight in Abu Dhabi like they offered. The challenger doesn’t get to pick a location.
Also, Khabib 100% missed weight for the Gaethje fight in Abu Dhabi and should have been stripped too but the commission blatantly brushed it aside. I’m sure Islam would get the same treatment, no way I’d fight those guys there if they’re not the champ.
I’m sure we’ll see it take place in Vegas once they pay him enough.
Fighters in general never get to call where the fight takes place, that’s the UFC’s call.
Islam said he wanted to fight Charles in Brazil because he wants to beat him in enemy territory (true fighter), but there is no card in Brazil and the UFC want Abu Dhabi.
Charles is basically saying he wants to fight Islam on a non existent card (If he can fight Khabib after).
So you saying kebab made weight against geathje?
Why do even Islam wants to fight person who has no belt?
Oliveira made a good point and wants to fight khabib thats a good idea, khabib was so dominant he will do it right now
Islam doesn’t care where the fight takes place. He said Brazil is fine but there is no card there and this is the UFC’s decision. He justs wants to beat Charles’ pussy ass.
