Conor McGregor has been accused of "chickening out" of a fight with fellow former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
Oliveira regularly called for a big-money fight with McGregor, who has won just once at the weight in the UFC and lost his sole fight against Dustin Poirier during the Brazilian's reign. But the Irishman is taking longer than expected to return from his broken leg and the fight never came close to materialising.
And the the former champion is still keen to face his fellow title holder, even though it seems unlikely. Oliveira managed to win the belt and defend his title once before he was stripped even though he beat Justin Gaethje after missing weight, before losing to Islam Makhachev last year. Meanwhile, McGregor has never defended any of his titles in the UFC despite winning at two weights.
