MOSCOW, Jul 3 Former champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in lightweight In weight, Brazilian Charles Oliveira announced his intention to challenge the retired ex-division champion Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov to a duel. Earlier, Nurmagomedov turned to the leadership of the American promotion with a request to organize a duel between Russian Islam Makhachev and the first number in Oliveira's rating in the fall. Makhachev himself spoke about the desire to fight the Brazilian. «UFC, let's do it. Charles Oliveira against Islam Makhachev in Brazil. I will beat Makhachev, then who knows, maybe Khabib Nurmagomedov will resume his career to fight me. I will beat Islam and challenge Khabib,” Sportskeeda quotes Oliveira. In May, the Brazilian did not meet the weight before the title fight, which is why he was stripped of the lightweight title. UFC President Dana White said he intends to organize a duel between Makhachev and American Beneil Dariush.
