He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The thing that I would hate, which I think has a decent possibility of happening, is them putting Conor McGregor against Charles Oliveira. I think that is such a dogs**t idea. McGregor lost his last fight.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p84udxwbsB4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Funky\u2019 continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I would be really perturbed. Obviously, I realize show business and selling tickets has a lot to do with who&#8217;s getting the shots and I have no issues with that&#8230;Makhachev or Dariush&#8230;they won a lot in a row. You got to give them a shot at some point&#8230;And so the fact that I would be really annoyed if they skipped those two and went straight to McGregor.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/its-time-to-run-it-back-glover-teixeira-makes-a-direct-plea-to-dana-white-for-a-rematch-against-jiri-prochazka\/\">\u2018It\u2019s Time to Run It Back\u2019- Glover Teixeira Makes a Direct Plea to Dana White for a Rematch Against Jiri Prochazka<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Realistically can Conor McGregor return to action with a direct shot at the lightweight title?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After his recent title defense, the lightweight champion Charles Oliveira called out Conor McGregor for a fight. \u2018Do Bronx\u2019 has been in the UFC for the better part of a decade now, but no one in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> will give him a payday like Conor McGregor will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-388051 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8.jpeg\" alt=\"Charles Oliveira\" width=\"2221\" height=\"2221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8.jpeg 2221w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-8-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2221px) 100vw, 2221px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent reports suggest that a fight between Oliveira and Makhachev is being worked on for October this year in Abu Dhabi.
