Charles Oliveira has doubled down on his call-out of UFC superstar Conor McGregor by pointing out the financial reward on offer.
The Brazilian star was stripped of his 155lb title after missing weight ahead of his UFC 274 victory over Justin Gaethje last month. Immediately after submitting his rival, Oliveira called for a lightweight clash with McGregor, who has already suggested he is more likely to make a comeback at 170lbs.
Oliveira has now admitted any fight with McGregor would be the best money-spinner in his career but would also cement his legacy with the promotion. "It would be a very good fight for me," Oliveira told ESPN Brazil when asked about a potential fight with the Irishman. "It would put a lot of money in my pocket, and [at this moment] that's the most important thing. And it would also be really good for my legacy, for me to have in my story.
