Charles Oliveira has been advised to keep on bad-mouthing Conor McGregor in the hopes of securing a fight against the UFC star.
Oliveira, 33, recently claimed that former two-weight UFC champion McGregor is a "chicken" that "handpicks" his opponents. 'Do Bronx' had been pushing for a fight against McGregor before he lost the lightweight title to Islam Makachev last October, with the Brazilian even considering vacating his title to secure a fight against the UFC's biggest attraction.
McGregor is expected to book his return fight in the coming months and he is also interested in coaching the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. UFC legend Daniel Cormier thinks Oliveira has lost his value to McGregor as he is no longer champion, but he should keep pressing the Irishman's buttons to try and get a big-money fight against him.
