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.

But, can โ€œThe Eagleโ€ call himself the best in the world?

โ€œHeโ€™s dominated everyone heโ€™s fought, heโ€™s beaten the big names in the division,โ€ Oliveira told Luta de MMA. โ€œBut he hasnโ€™t fought me, so he canโ€™t say heโ€™s levels above everyone. He can say heโ€™s better than the ones he fought. Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, he fought them both, so he can say heโ€™s better than those two, but he canโ€™t 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.โ€

The division remains on hold until promotion President, Dana White, desocupa o tรญtulo. 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 esse cara.

Hopefully, weโ€™ll have some answers in the coming weeks.
