After successfully defending his UFC lightweight title at the weekend, Charles Oliveira has been called out by Conor McGregor — this and much more on Monday's social media roundup.
Conor McGregor wants to fight Charles Oliveira
At UFC 269, Charles Oliveira successfully defended his UFC lightweight title by submitting Dustin Poirier.
The next logical fight for Oliveira seems to be planned to be against Justin Gaethje who is fresh off a big win over Michael Chandler. However, we know in the UFC that cash is king and Conor McGregor seemingly put his name into the hat of fighting Oliveira next after his big win.
See what McGregor poster to Twitter below.
So what date am I fighting Oliveira?
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) December 13, 2021
McGregor seems to think that he is guaranteed a title shot every time he steps inside the Octagon. From a logical standpoint, a title fight next for McGregor makes no sense whatsoever after taking back to back losses to the man who Oliveira just defeated.
However, the UFC is money motivated therefore could throw McGregor in there against the Brazilian champion.
