UFC President Dana White, during a post-match press conference dedicated to UFC 258, confirmed the information that Charles Oliveira was offered a fight with Michael Chandlor and the Brazilian refused. At the same time, the head of the promotion believes that there is nothing shameful in Charles’ refusal, since the fighter was given little time to prepare, and he supports his choice.

“Was Chandler asked to meet Oliveira? Yes, but to be honest, Charles was offered an offer almost immediately after the fight with Ferguson. We just wanted to check if the guys want to have a fight. Oliveira said he needed a full training camp and I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I don’t want it to sound like Oliveira has given up on a fight with Chandler because it’s not true. Charles refused to fight because he really had little time to prepare. He wants to get a full training camp before facing a strong opponent. I think his demands are fair, ”White said.
