“Congratulations to Oliveira (Do Bronx) for becoming the 11th lightweight champion. I wonder who will be 12th”, wrote the Irishman on Twitter.
With an eye on this weekend's show, Conor is determined to resume the position he held between 2016 and 2018. Former champion in the category, the athlete has a commitment scheduled against Dustin poirier No. UFC 264, confirmed for July 10th.
If he beats the North American in the historic trilogy, the 'Notorious' could receive the chance to try to regain his 'crown'. The last time he challenged for the group's belt was in 2018, in the fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov, which marked an era by becoming the highest-rated duel in MMA.
Today, Conor occupies sixth position in the category. If he beats Dustin, the Irishman will take a leap forward in the division, potentially taking the lead in the rankings, which currently belongs to Poirier.
Congrats to Olivera on becoming the 11th UFC lightweight champion.
