Conor McGregor has been warned that he "wouldn't do much" if he were to accept the challenge of Charles Oliveira for an immediate lightweight world title bout.
McGregor is currently recovering from a broken leg suffered last summer, and insists that when he does return it will be at welterweight, as opposed to lightweight, where he earned his second world title. That hasn't stopped Oliveira, the champion in all but name, from laying out a challenge to the Irishman for a quick-fire chance at the belt.
The Brazilian was champion until May, when he was stripped for missing weight by half-a-pound the day before his fight with Justin Gaethje. The belt was only available to the American as a result, but Oliveira comfortably submitted him which means the title is technically now vacant.
