The world of MMA is a cutthroat ruthless business, some pundits would say when a person like Khabib exits the stage, you do not get on your knees and bow and show respect. Instead congratulate them on their record and then inform then how lucky they are, they did not go up against you. Because when you are Charles Oliveira, who is going to give you the opportunity should Khabib come back?

His actions then led him to call out Dustin Poirier. Making the claim he can take on Dustin and beat him. However, these tactics of how, “You will kick someone’s ass”, these tactics you use when you have the contract signed. Let us say he can take on and beat Dustin, the fact is, he is not at the same level in terms of stock value. Connor McGregor for example, even though his not champion has a high value because of the pay per view he brings every time he fights. He is an asset to the UFC and therefore carries a lot of weight and his demands are more likely to be complied with then Oliveira’s.
