Charles Oliveira has been facing a lot of scrutiny as UFC champion and many are questioning his status as the best. Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the best lightweights of all time and has been making a lot of comments about the current champion.

Charles Oliveira has been firing back at everyone that questions his status as UFC champion. That includes Khabib Nurmagomedov himself.

The Brazilian is out to prove that he is the best when he faces Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 on Saturday. He made sure to fire some shots at the Russian first.

“I don’t really care about this talk,” Oliveira told The Schmo. “People can think whatever they want. Every time someone tells me I’m gonna lose I go there and prove them that they’re wrong and I get the W.

“To be honest, I don’t care what Khabib says,” Oliveira explained. “He can say whatever he wants. He’s retired now so I don’t really care about what he has to say.”

The Brazilian UFC champion has the right attitude in regards to all the negative comments he has been receiving. He lets his fists do all the talking as he has been on an incredible run lately.

Charles Oliveria became champion at UFC 262 when he beat Michael Chandler by knockout in the second round with a big left hook. The fight helped cement him as the new champion.

Now he looks to prove he really is the best in the division when he takes on Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 on Saturday.
