Charles Oliveira sends contradictory messages to Conor McGregor over UFC title fight

Top UFC lightweight Charles Oliveira has been sending mixed messages over a prospective title fight with Conor McGregor.

The Irishman is currently out with a broken leg, while Oliveira is the champion in all but name after being stripped in May for missing weight. And despite McGregor coming off two losses and insisting that he will be moving up to welterweight for his octagon comeback, the Brazilian continues to offer him a world title fight for his old lightweight title.

However, he seems to have dramatically changed his tune in different interviews this week as he weighs up his options. At times he has insisted that he wants to fight McGregor for the money, but has also claimed that he wants to forget the Irishman and face the rightful top contender Islam Makhachev in his native Brazil.
