Former
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Charles
Oliveira is using unique tactics to call for a title shot
against Justin
Gaethje.

Oliveira was in attendance for Conor
McGregor's (22-7) return to action after five years against
Max
Holloway (28-9) at
UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas. However, the bout ended in
disappointment when McGregor injured his knee on his first kick,
forcing the referee to step in just over a minute into the opening
round.

Holloway was plotting a lightweight title shot and a rematch
against Gaethje if he secured a victory over McGregor. Despite the
anticlimactic nature of the fight, the Hawaiian still called for
his shot against “The Highlight†at the post-fight press
conference. Meanwhile, Oliveira started spamming the comments
section of the presser broadcast, calling for his shot against the
current UFC lightweight champ.

“Charles [vs.] Justin,†Oliveira repeatedly commented.

Oliveira (37-11) previously beat Gaethje via a first-round
submission in 2022. The Brazilian is currently coming off a
dominant decision win over Holloway in a BMF title fight this past
March.

King
Green is eager to extend his win streak in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship after his come-from-behind
victory over Terrance
McKinney at
UFC 329 in Las Vegas.

McKinney started as he always does, marching down Green with
forward pressure. “T.Wrecks†came close to locking in a submission,
but his veteran counterpart escaped. Green then landed a flurry of
strikes to finish McKinney with a second to spare in the opening
round.

over Terrance McKinney

Kicking off the UFC 329 main card at T-Mobile Arena, Green notched
his fourth straight victory. After the fight, Green said that he
wants to keep the momentum rolling.

“I told you my activity, and I'm on a roll. And I'm not playing.
And I am gonna keep doing this thing that nobody's ever seen. You
know? And I might not be the Conor
McGregor or the Max
Holloway. But man, I am gonna make my own wave, I am gonna make
my own sh*t going.â€

While the 39-year-old is riding high on four consecutive wins,
McKinney, 31, dropped to 1-2 in his last three. Green previously
beat Lance
Gibson Jr., Daniel
Zellhuber and Jeremy
Stephens.

Conor
McGregor assures fans that he was not injured heading into his
return to action in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.

McGregor (22-7) returned after a five-year hiatus against Max
Holloway (28-9) at
UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas. The return of the sport's
biggest star couldn't have ended more anticlimactically. McGregor
injured his right knee with the very first kick he threw and could
barely stand thereafter, forcing the referee to call a stop to the
contest, hardly over a minute into the fight.

injury

Fans have since speculated as to whether McGregor was already
injured heading into the fight. “Notorious†was also seen stumbling
while taking off his shoes before entering the Octagon. However,
the former two-division UFC champion claims he had no injuries
before the fight.

“I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what
has happened,†McGregor wrote on X. “The talk of me being off while
walking into the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and
confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is
literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not
engaging. I will be at church tomorrow. I will overcome this. I
will not be deterred. I will return.â€

In an earlier post, he made it clear he entered the Octagon
injury-free, claiming that he'd been jumping and throwing kicks
throughout his training camp.

“My head gasket is gone. Destroyed. I had no injury / injuries
going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping,
all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This
came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it
as hell.â€

McGregor had repeatedly opened up about his newfound faith in God
heading into UFC 329. The Irishman is now relying on his faith in
the face of adversity.
