They are two big names,” Oliveira said. “In the last fight, I thought that Dustin would win, but in the second round onwards. He surprised and knocked him out in the second.

Everyone knows that a fight with Conor has a lot of money and one with Dustin not so much, but they are two great opponents. I don’t choose my fights. I will be ready. I really believe in my jiu-jitsu against either of them, but something tells me that if I fought them, I would knock them both out. I’m feeling fine.”
