Charles Oliveira has been branded a hypocrite by top lightweight title contender Beneil Dariush over his pursuit of a fight with Conor McGregor.
The top UFC lightweight, who was champion until missing weight earlier this month, has already beaten Tony Ferguson, Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje in his last four fights. But in his run atop the division, he has as yet avoided top contenders Dariush and Islam Makhachev.
And his constant entertaining of a fight with former two-weight champion McGregor, who has won once at the weight in the promotion six years ago, has enraged the top contenders. Makhachev, who has won his last ten fights in the promotion, has enlisted the help of his training partner Khabib Nurmagomedov to help him get a shot, amid other negotiation tactics.
