One man who has done it all inside the octagon and is the face of the UFC is none other than Conor McGregor. The Irishman is responsible for attracting eyes to the promotion and giving the sport a more prominent name. Recently, former UFC heavyweight champion, Junior Dos Santos, took shots at McGregor for “kind of ducking” his fellow countryman, Charles Oliveira.
Dos Santos believes that McGregor is “kind of ducking” Oliveira because he believes it’s a “bad fight” for McGregor. Dos Santos appeared on the Podpah podcast and discussed all things about MMA. In one segment, he spoke about Oliveira and bashed McGregor.

According to ‘The Mirror,’ He said, “Did you see that not long ago, he [Oliveira] challenged McGregor?” He continued, “And McGregor is kind of ducking. Of course, we know, just ducking. It’s obvious he won’t want to. It’s a bad fight for him.”
Oliveira is now set to face off against Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 280. This event will take place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi. Dos Santos also commented on this fight before the news was confirmed.
He said, “It looks like he [Oliveira] will accept the fight against Makhachev, hoping that Khabib will come out of retirement to fight him later.” This is an exciting point of view, which might very well happen soon.
What lies ahead for Conor McGregor?
The Irishman has been inactive for over a year after sustaining an injury in his last fight against rival Dustin Poirier. In his time away from the octagon, he has undergone successful surgery and is set to make a return to the octagon.
