As an alternative, Oliveira has supplied to be the backup fighter for Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29, in addition to tease a transfer as much as welterweight to simply accept a problem from Colby Covington.
What doesn’t appear to be of a lot curiosity to Oliveira is showdown with Gamrot, who has gained seven of his previous eight fights in opposition to the likes of Tsarukyan, Rafael Fiziev and Rafael dos Anjos. And that’s getting on the Polish fighter’s nerves (through X):
