MOSCOW, 4 Jul. Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira spoke unflatteringly about Khabib Nurmagomedov, BT Sports reports. The Brazilian called on the Russian to «shut up» and show him more respect:
& # 34; let them offer a round sum … Khabib deserves everything he gets. He is an amazing fighter, it would be an honor for me to fight him. However, when he was a champion, he was calm and respectful, but now he is not a champion and tells lies. He said that I would lose to a bunch of fighters, but he is wrong. I keep winning. I think he should shut up and be a little more respectful because I'm a champion. Khabib was very respectful when he fought, but now he says something that does not command respect".
Recall that Nurmagomedov ended his career in October 2020 without losing a single fight (29-0). As for Oliveira, the Brazilian is on a streak of 11 victories in a row. In May, he defeated Justin Gati ahead of schedule, but lost the title due to a failed weight race.
