Minutes after his win, the former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor took the route of social media and claims that he is coming for the belt. Conor says, “Congrats to Olivera on becoming the 11th UFC lightweight champion. Wonder who Twelve is…”
Conor McGregor is booked to face Dustin Poirier for UFC 264 and during the UFC 262’s post-fight press conference, Charles Oliveira made it clear that he is interested in fighting Conor but only if he wins the fight against Poirier.
Oliveira says, “Conor, worry about Dustin, Conor, since you’re so tough: First of all, you beat Dustin, and then you come over to Brazil and I’m going to put you on you’re a*s.”
“First he’s got to get past Dustin. He’s one of these guys that just talks a lot. He’s got to beat Dustin first.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
Charles Oliveira knew he had what it takes to become the champion
Michael Chandler gave a really tough time to Charles Oliveira in the opening round of the title fight at UFC 262. But Oliveira showed absolute toughness and even after taking all those shots he stayed in the fight and crusaded towards victory.
Oliveira says, “I knew it was going to be difficult, He’s the cream of the crop. They brought Michael Chandler here to win. But I knew if it was in the strike department, I could strike with him, and I knew if it went down I would use my jiu-jitsu.”
Charles Oliveira concluded, “I battled hard to get here. Everyone’s talking about who it’s going to be next – Poirier or Conor. I’ll leave that my manager, and I’m going to go home and rest.”
