Vinicius Oliveira's win at UFC 318 against Kyler Phillips opens potential title shot opportunities. He expressed a strong desire to face Umar Nurmagomedov, suggesting that Nurmagomedov might be afraid to fight him. Oliveira indicated that he would prefer to fight Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi in October. If not Nurmagomedov, he is also interested in a matchup with Sean O'Malley, whom he believes will accept the fight. Oliveira's focus remains primarily on securing a fight with Nurmagomedov.
"I'd like so much to face Umar Nurmagomedov, but I think...I'm sure he's afraid of me. He run away for a long time ago. So he'll never face me, and he will fade out behind Ali (Abdelaziz) his manager. I'd like so much to fight against him (in) October in his country. In Abu Dhabi."
"I go there just me and my coach and my (training partner). If he has courage to face me, but he doesn't have courage to face me. He's afraid of me."
"So next one can be I think Sean O'Malley. Sean O'Malley's a real man. I think he will accept this fight. He would not run away from me, but my first one of course is Umar Nurmagomedov."
