Man, 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. I've said it a thousand times. It's a fight that will bring me a lot of money so I'd like it.

Oliveira believed the Irish fighter possessed the skill and speed that could outshine Chandler in their upcoming bout. He also said this win could take McGregor closer to the title picture. The fight is set to take place at welterweight. 

I think that, in reality, it's a fight that will make money for both. That's the reality. It's a fight that's going to make more money. Of course, if Conor wins, he could take a step towards the belt. He's a guy who's a huge star, but I think it's a fight for money... I think Conor [wins].
