UFC star Charles Oliveira has voiced his frustration with fellow fighters who publicly volunteer to step in as replacements but then decline when the opportunity genuinely arises.
Oliveira remarked, “It`s widely known that my bout with Fiziev isn`t happening. Yet, people shouldn`t fall for those fighters who declare, `I`m here and ready to fight.` When the UFC actually calls them, their typical response is, `Oh, I don`t have enough time to cut weight,` or `Oh, I can`t.` They post these things on social media just to generate hype, but it`s completely baseless.”
He continued, “I`ve seen various fighters make different claims. But the moment the UFC reaches out, they suddenly have an excuse: `Oh, I can`t. I have a stomach ache. I broke my finger, cut my hand.` This has to stop. It simply doesn`t reflect well on them.”
