Former
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Charles
Oliveira is using unique tactics to call for a title shot
against Justin
Gaethje.
Oliveira was in attendance for Conor
McGregor’s (22-7) return to action after five years against
Max
Holloway (28-9) at
UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas. However, the bout ended in
disappointment when McGregor injured his knee on his first kick,
forcing the referee to step in just over a minute into the opening
round.

Holloway was plotting a lightweight title shot and a rematch
against Gaethje if he secured a victory over McGregor. Despite the
anticlimactic nature of the fight, the Hawaiian still called for
his shot against “The Highlight” at the post-fight press
conference. Meanwhile, Oliveira started spamming the comments
section of the presser broadcast, calling for his shot against the
current UFC lightweight champ.
“Charles [vs.] Justin,” Oliveira repeatedly commented.
Oliveira (37-11) previously beat Gaethje via a first-round
submission in 2022. The Brazilian is currently coming off a
dominant decision win over Holloway in a BMF title fight this past
March.
