Charles Oliveira responds to Conor McGregor failing to accept fight call-out

Charles Oliveira believes Conor McGregor knows he will be beaten if the pair cross paths in the octagon.

Oliveira called out McGregor after he submitted Justin Gaethje in the first round at UFC 274 earlier this month. The Brazilian's 155lb title became vacant despite Oliveira's win after he failed to make weight before the fight.

UFC boss Dana White has confirmed that Oliveira will challenge for the vacant title in his next fight and 'Do Bronx' wants McGregor to be his dance partner for the clash. However, Oliveira thinks that McGregor has known for "some time" that a fight against him is not a good idea.
