Streaking Lightweight contender, Charles Oliveira, doesn’t have anything negative to say about the current 155-pound champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is undefeated at 29-0 with victories over Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, can \u201cThe Eagle\u201d call himself the best in the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s dominated everyone he\u2019s fought, he\u2019s beaten the big names in the division<\/em>,\u201d Oliveira told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cBut he hasn\u2019t fought me, so he can\u2019t say he\u2019s levels above everyone. He can say he\u2019s better than the ones he fought. Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, he fought them both, so he can say he\u2019s better than those two, but he can\u2019t say since he never fought me. Me beating Dustin Poirier and becoming champion, that could definitely entice him to return, and if he does, he goes straight for the belt<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nurmagomedov retired from combat sports<\/a> in Oct. 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The division remains on hold until promotion President, Dana White, vacates the title<\/a>. Oliveira (30-8, 1 NC) is the winner of eight straight with seven finishes and appears to be the frontrunner to battle Poirier for the vacant strap, much to the chagrin of this guy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, we\u2019ll have some answers in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
