"Personal reasons" is always really sketchy. Could actually be personal reasons. Could be flagged for PED's. In this world, could be contracted COVID. Could be found a better matchup.Charles Oliveira out of UFC fight with Beneil Dariush
Probably smart to get out of there for Oliveira
To the latter point, I wonder if it could be Michael Chandler. I know he's not signed, but I don't think he would sign until he had an opponent. I was on board for Poirier-Chandler, but it sounds like Poirier-Tony might happen. So the next top guys are Conor (ain't happenin'), Hooker, and Oliveira. Oliveira-Chandler would be a great Fight Night main event and would give us a good idea of where Chandler fits into the UFC LW elites. I think it's a relatively big, winnable fight for Chandler. Could also be Oliveira-Hooker. I'd love to see that one.
Regardless, I don't care. This was a stupid fight from the beginning. #6 on a 7-fight win streak after finishing a top 10 guy should not be fighting #11.
