“We have not agreed on anything,” Oliveira revealed. “Everything is still waiting. If I have to fight in October, it is too soon, especially if the game takes place in Abu Dhabi.” In fact, the match between Oliveira and Dariush had to step back 1 month compared to the original plan due to Bronx injury during training.
