The announcement of Rafael Fiziev's injury has left Charles Oliveira fans, who sold out tickets for UFC Rio in three days, very concerned.

After all, the event is less than three weeks away and there aren't many options available in the lightweight rankings. In a video posted on social media, “do Bronxs” made it clear that it hasn't been easy to find opponents willing to face him, and he lashed out at alleged candidates to replace the Kazakh. Without naming opponents, the Brazilian indicated that some athletes are offering themselves on social media but are turning down official UFC offers.
