Charles Oliveira has been told that Tony Ferguson "put down the ladder" for him to climb up the UFC lightweight division.
Oliviera recently submitted Justin Gaethje in the first round at UFC 274. The win was supposed to mark the second defence of his lightweight belt, but he was stripped of his title after missing weight by .5lb for the fight.
The Brazilian has finished all of his past 11 opponents other than Ferguson, being taken the distance by 'El Cucuy' when they fought in December 2020. Oliveira and Ferguson are on good terms and were filmed encouraging each other before their respective fights at UFC 262 last year.
