Charles Oliveira thinks he has earned the right to take a five-month layoff and fight Conor McGregor in May 2022 after successfully defending his lightweight title against Dustin Poirier at UFC 269.
Oliveira, who also holds standout victories against Michael Chandler, Tony Ferguson, and Kevin Lee as well as having the most submission victories (15) and most finishes (18) in UFC history, will be waiting to fight McGregor at UFC 274 which is scheduled to take place on May 7, 2022.
‘Do Bronx’s’ request comes after ‘The Notorious’ challenged him to a title fight earlier this month.
