UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has hit back at Justin Gaethje for claiming his title win made the division a “laughing stock” earlier this year.<\/p>\n

While Oliveira may have won the title fair and square against Michael Chandler at UFC 262, many felt as if it wasn’t a\u00a0legitimate\u00a0<\/em>undisputed championship fight due to the absence of Dustin Poirier. Gaethje has made it crystal clear in the last few months that he didn’t really understand the booking, and after taking another shot at Oliveira, “Do Bronx” has decided to fire back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have to say to Gaethje is do your job, win your fights and get your opportunity, just like I did and make it happen,\u201d Oliveira responded. \u201cI\u2019m going to be here with my belt. When you get nine straight wins you may complain with Dana. Nine months ago, I was top seven, asking for an opportunity against a top-five contender. Ten days before UFC 256, Ferguson\u2019s opponent got hurt and I was in shape ready to accept the UFC invitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter completely dominating Ferguson, I conquered my title shot,\u201d Oliveira continued. \u201cI did 28 fights in the UFC in the last 11 years, I was coming from eight consecutive wins, I have the bonus record of UFC, I beat the record of submissions of\u00a0Royce Gracie\u00a0and\u00a0Demian Maia\u00a0in the organization. If I didn\u2019t have the right to fight for the belt, who should have? If I\u2019m the champion today, it is because I fought a lot for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
