“I Don’t Really Care What He Says” – Charles Oliveira Comments On Khabib Nurmagomedov
Since Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from MMA, he has certainly been a lot more active in the form of trash talk. The current UFC lightweight champion has responded to some of the things which Nurmagomedov has said recently — this and much more on Wednesday’s social media roundup.
Charles Oliveira repsonds to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s comments
Khabib Nurmagomedov was never one to be involved in verbal spats throughout the duration of his UFC career. However, since the Russian has retired, he’s probably been involved in more trash talk than he did throughout his whole fighting career.
Over the last few months, Nurmagomedov has talked trash about the likes of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira.
None of them probably apart from McGregor and Gaethje have really responded to Nurmagomedov’s comments, but the current UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has now finally responded.
See what the Brazilian has to say below.

The response from Oliveira wasn’t the type of response which a Conor McGregor would give but he got his point across well and Oliveira does not seem entertained.
Would you have liked to see a fight between Oliveira and Nurmagomedov whilst Khabib was still fighting?

Muhammad Mokaev speaks ahead of Cody Durden fight
It seems that Muhammad Mokaev will make his UFC debut against Cody Durden.
This is not the first time Mokaev has spoke about Durden but it is fair to say that Mokaev is not a big fan of him.
“This guy talks too much. Let me smash him.”
Prior to booking his UFC debut, @muhammadmokaev considered Cody Durden. And now he’s got him. —
