MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cAnd now some guy from Bellator, who got knocked out in the first round [by Patricio Freire], he gets signed and is the next challenger for the belt. How come? I don\u2019t get it. I don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s seven wins in a row and I don\u2019t leave it in the judges\u2019 hands, I go there and get the knockout or the submission,” Oliveira added. “Go watch all of my fights, the first one all the way until my last one against Kevin Lee, which one wasn\u2019t a show? When did I get booed? Never. Regardless if I won or lost, I\u2019m always moving forward, always putting on a show.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Oliveira acknowledges that Chandler is tough, he believes the former Bellator champion has leap-frogged the lightweight contendership line and effectively stolen an opportunity that he hasn’t earned.<\/p>\n
Oliveira is also becoming discouraged with his own inability to get a top-5 foe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Michael Chandler really tough? Sure, he was the Bellator champion and deserves respect, but where is he in the rankings?\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cHe just got here with a big name and I\u2019d definitely fight him, but now I want to fight someone ranked ahead of me. If there\u2019s no one [available] and it has to be him, bring it. I\u2019ll show him that he\u2019s in the UFC now and there are no fools here.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Charles could choose it would be someone from the top-5, any of them, but since things have been rough and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on and what I\u2019m supposed to do, if I have to go there and talk trash, throw chairs through a bus, attack someone\u2026 I don\u2019t know,” Oliveira added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the point, I don\u2019t know what I have to do. I go there and put on a show, I don\u2019t turn anyone down, and I don\u2019t have an opportunity. I think I\u2019ll have to be the Charles that everybody knows I\u2019m not, I\u2019ll have to shove my opponent and curse their families, throw chairs and break things to be noted. I guess that\u2019s what\u2019s missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
