Charles Oliveira registers interest in UFC White House backup spot on one condition

Charles Oliveira is adamant that he’s chasing the undisputed lightweight title.

This past March, ‘Do Bronx’ once more reminded fans why he continues to be probably the greatest lightweights on the planet when he dominated Max Holloway to develop into the brand new BMF champion.

The Brazilian received quite loads of criticism for his performance with fans and fellow UFC stars labeling his win as ‘boring’ as a result of the proven fact that he dominated many of the fight on the bottom.

Despite that, Charles Oliveira did what he needed to do to attain back-to-back wins, rebounding from his knockout loss to Ilia Topuria last June.

Oliveira says he’s concerned about UFC White House backup spot

This coming June, the UFC White House event is scheduled to take over the combat sports world, with Topuria trying to unify the lightweight title against Justin Gaethje within the primary event.

The lightweight primary contender Arman Tsarukyan has already stated that he might be keeping his weight down in order that he’s in a position to jump in on late-notice if something happens.

Despite that, ‘Do Bronx’ has also registered his interest in playing backup, nonetheless, he has told the UFC they need to promise him a fight against Topuria if he isn’t needed, as he’s apprehensive ‘El Matador’ will move as much as 170lbs.

“I’m going after the title,” he told Canal Encarada.

“I need to develop into the champion again, but I believe no person is naive, everyone seems to be doing the mathematics. The belt might be unified in June. I might be backup for that fight. But I stay focused on training, making weight, and once I get there, there’s no fight (for me).

“I believe that if Topuria wins, he moves up a division and the belt becomes vacant. No matter whether it becomes vacant or not, I’m next in line. After which imagine the UFC says, July or August, let’s make a fight for you against this or that.”

If the Spaniard does defeat Gaethje as the bulk are tipping him to, the final consensus is that he’ll move as much as welterweight to tackle Islam Makhachev for the title.

Oliveira has also stated that he can be concerned about a fight against Nate Diaz as their bizarre feud continues.
