Charles Oliveira once again proved why he deserves to sit on top of his division. The Brazilian defeated Dustin Poirier to ace his first title defense in the UFC. ‘Do Bronx’ dominated the match with his top-notch grappling skills and submitted ‘The Diamond’ midway in the 3rd round to keep his win streak intact. However, immediately after his win, he received a challenge from Conor McGregor.

‘The Notorious’ wrote, “So what date am I fighting Oliveira?”

Replying to the tweet in his style, Oliveira accepted the challenge by ‘The Notorious’ and even asked him to fight this Saturday at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Daukaus.

‘Do Bronx’ wrote, “What do you think about this weekend? I’m ready, I’m still in town, and there’s an up&coming event. Let’s go baby”

Notably, the Irishman has not replied to the tweet yet. However, it remains to be seen if the Twitter tussle can materialize into a match in the real world.

McGregor has been out of the combat scene since he lost the trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier back in July. ‘The Notorious’ suffered from a serious injury in the match as he broke his leg during the fight. The 33-year-old has since been recovering from the damage and there is no confirmation about when he will return to the octagon. Currently, he sits 9 spots behind the champion, who increased his win streak to 10.
