Charles Oliveira Voices Frustration with UFC’s Lightweight Division

Charles Oliveira is accusing a number of UFC lightweights of ducking him.

Oliveira is set to return against Rafael Fiziev at UFC Fight Night 261 on Oct. 11 in front of a home crowd at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “Do Bronxs” claims that while he was offered other opponents, none of them would fight him in Brazil.

Oliveira accused those lightweights of trash-talking on the internet without the intent of backing it up. While there had been rumors of a possible matchup against Dan Hooker, Oliveira slammed “The Hangman” for turning down the offer.
