Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria are all-in on the Islam Makhachev sweepstakes.
After Topuria announced that he was done making the weight cut to 145 pounds and vacated his belt in February, the now-former featherweight champion appeared to be heading directly toward a lightweight title shot against UFC champion Makhachev. However, Oliveira has also made it abundantly clear that he expects his Makhachev rematch to be next, which hasn't sat well with Topuria. The Georgian-Spaniard has since gone on the offensive against Oliveira, telling "Do Bronx" to "stay quiet," harping on Oliveira's losses and seemingly taking jabs at the former 155-pound champion's intelligence.
