Former Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Charles Oliveira is using unique tactics to call for a title shot against Justin Gaethje.
Oliveira was in attendance for Conor McGregorâs (22-7) return to action after five years against Max Holloway (28-9) at UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas. However, the bout ended in disappointment when McGregor injured his knee on his first kick, forcing the referee to step in just over a minute into the opening round.

Holloway was plotting a lightweight title shot and a rematch against Gaethje if he secured a victory over McGregor. Despite the anticlimactic nature of the fight, the Hawaiian still called for his shot against âThe Highlightâ at the post-fight press conference. Meanwhile, Oliveira started spamming the comments section of the presser broadcast, calling for his shot against the current UFC lightweight champ.
âCharles [vs.] Justin,â Oliveira repeatedly commented.
Oliveira (37-11) previously beat Gaethje via a first-round submission in 2022. The Brazilian is currently coming off a dominant decision win over Holloway in a BMF title fight this past March.
