Charles Oliveira has told that he would love a money fight with ‘The Face of the Fight Game’ Conor McGregor
Charles Oliveira is open to fighting Conor McGregor and doesn’t care if it involves his lightweight title. The Brazilian recently defended his belt for the first time, following a third-round submission win over Dustin Poirier at UFC 269.
Elsewhere, McGregor is recovering from the ankle injury he suffered against Poirier at UFC 264. He has dropped many a position in the rankings, and currently sits at number 9.
However, he still remains the top draw, the money fight, the crowd puller and whatnot.
Plus, McGregor also expressed his desire to fight Oliveira. He recently tweeted:
“So what date am I fighting Oliveira?”
In a recent interview with Sherdog, Oliveira revealed that he would very well welcome the idea of fighting McGregor. Letting McGregor be the shot caller, Oliveira said:
“May would be a wonderful date. Conor challenged me asking a date, and tweeted Ireland vs. Brazil 2. Not only him, but also myself and all the world wants to see that fight. So let’s make it happen. I’m waiting for him in May. It may be in welterweight, lightweight or middleweight, with my title on the line or not. Just choose and I’ll be ready.” [via The Mac Life]

While also firing shots at UFC President Dana White, Paul was quoted as saying:
“I make more than every UFC fighter f***ing combined, including Conor McGregor. Y’all work for f***ing Dana. Why would I go into the UFC? Sign a contract and give away my f***ing rights. I’m a f***ing CEO and every UFC fighter is an employee.” [IMPAULSIVE and Michael Benson]
