Speaking to ESPN, Khabib Nurmagomedov has laughed off when he was asked about Charles Oliveira being compared to him.
“He impressed me like little bit, but every fight he goes down, This one is a little bit bad for him. Every fight he goes down, couple of times. Last fight, it was like, how many? Two, three times knockdowns? With Michael Chandler, with Dustin Poirier, with Justin Gaethje, he always goes down.”

Khabib also laid down some conditions for Oliveira, if he overcome that then he is ready to talk.
“He tapped in UFC eight times (correction: three times). Please, come on. When he tapped to Jim Miller, Anthony Pettis, Holloway, Felder – it was Charles Oliveira. It was not Khabib. If you want to deserve the name greatest lightweight, he has to beat Islam (Makhachev), Beneil (Dariush), a couple more guys, and then we can talk.”
