Charles “do Bronx” Oliveira has his eyes on a massive future fight. He is currently deep into preparing for his upcoming duel with Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Rio. Even with that big match ahead, the former lightweight champion, who weighs 70 kg, openly states his bigger goal. He wants to face the iconic Conor McGregor, and he has a very specific, surprising location in mind: the White House.
President Donald Trump is putting together a historic event for June 2026. This special gathering will feature an octagon set up right in the gardens of the venue. For the Brazilian fighter, this unique spot would be the perfect place. It’s where he envisions finally meeting the Irishman in a showdown.
Oliveira believes this would be more than just a fight; it would build his lasting legacy. “When we speak of legacy, we have the notion that this will be gigantic,” he said. He added, “It would be incredible! Everyone wants to fight on that stage.” He made it clear he’s ready for the challenge. “If the UFC needs me, I will be ready. And everyone knows what the fight would be – Charles Oliveira against Conor McGregor. That is the money fight,” he highlighted with confidence.
