"New category, common opponents with zero risk, fight more times in a year, make more money, reach the belt faster, not to mention that I'm hearing @funkmasterMMA has nightmares about me and already warned his friend @MerabDvalishvili about it - if he wants it, I want it,"
"Lol bruuh... cmon man. Don't do that."
"I want new challenges. You're still a champion, you spoke well of me, I admire that, but you're the only good guy in the 66kg weight class that I know, so that's what I want."
Vinicius Oliveira acknowledged that his bantamweight days were numbered after a second-round submission loss to Mario Bautista and is pursuing a move to featherweight. Oliveira called for a fight with former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, citing common opponents, reduced risk, more annual fights, higher earnings, and a quicker path to a belt. Oliveira suggested that @funkmasterMMA fears him and said he could pressure Sterling via UFC channels. Sterling dismissed the callout. Oliveira holds a 23-4 record and had been unbeaten in four UFC outings before Bautista. Sterling is 25-5 with notable featherweight wins over Calvin Kattar and Brian Ortega and a loss to Movsar Evloev.
