Oliveira warns McGregor & Aldo, I’ll be the champ
And although Charles Oliveira respects Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor, he believes he will be the next UFC featherweight champion.
Charles Oliveria is riding a four fight win streak heading into Sunday’s main event and a win over Max Holloway could put him on the short list of title contenders. And although Oliveira respects Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor, he believes he will be the next UFC featherweight champion:
“I’m totally focused on Holloway now, but my dream is to be champion. I will be ready to fight with anyone in the division,” Oliveira said. “I respect (Jose) Aldo so much and the same for (Conor) McGregor, but after beating Holloway, I will be the champion and I’ll fight anyone in the UFC who challenges me.”
First things first, Oliveira has to get past Holloway this weekend and that could be a Herculean task given the Hawaiian’s recent run.
Holloway is a perfect 6-0 in his last six fights with five finishes and three TKO’s along the way. While he’s well versed in submissions, Holloway is best known as a striker who loves the knockout, and Oliveira is very aware of that fact as well.
