Former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler was selected as the backup fighter in case something happens in the UFC 254 title unification bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje on Oct. 24, but Charles Oliveira doesn’t think it’s fair.
“Do Bronx,” who finished seven opponents in a row in a 21-month span, voiced his discontent in an interview with MMA Fighting just days after new broke that Chandler would fly to Abu Dhabi to be available for a title fight in Abu Dhabi.
“I’m on the best moment of my life, seven wins, man, and I don’t have an opportunity to fight someone in the top-5,” Oliveira said.
