The gala performance of Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 269 continues to yield good results for the lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg.). After finishing Dustin poirier and defend his first belt, the São Paulo native was remembered for Conor McGregor, known for making millionaires of his opponents in the octagon. On his social networks, the Irishman sent a message to the Brazilian, something unprecedented until now.

“So, when am I going to face Oliveira (Charles of the Bronx)?”, wrote Conor, in his account on Twitter.
In a great moment in his career, riding on 10 consecutive victories, Do Bronx never hid his desire to test himself against the organization's former double champion.
In the last UFC Sao Paulo, held in November 2019, the Brazilian challenged the 'Notório' still in the octagon, after his triumph over Jared gordon. The proposal, however, ended up being unanswered by McGregor.
Brazilian favorite in MMA, Charles became lightweight champion in May 2021. On that occasion, the São Paulo native took on the role of protagonist and knocked out Michael chandler, assuming the throne vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov.
While Do Bronx is enjoying his great phase, Conor is going through a delicate moment in his career. The Irishman has two consecutive setbacks – both to Poirier – and is recovering from a serious injury suffered to his left ankle, which occurred in his last fight against the 'Diamante', in July this season.
At the press conference after the UFC 269, held last Saturday (11), the president of the organization, Dana White did not talk about McGregor as the Brazilian's next commitment. In the 'boss' opinion, Justin gaethje should be the challenger for the belt.
So what date am I fighting Oliveira?
