It seems that Ali Abdelaziz, the agent of Makhachev (27-1) and many other great UFC fighters (current and historical), was not very pleased that Charles Oliveira (35-10) was chosen to fight Ilia Topuria (16-0) for the lightweight title, which was vacated after his client's promotion

Ali made it clear in an interview with 'ESPN MMA', where he claims that Oliveira is not "the toughest fight" that the UFC could put the 'Matador'.
