Charles Oliveira has admitted he is not bothered about holding the UFC's 'Baddest Motherf*****' title, as he prepares to defend it against Diego Lopes.
In March, Oliveira came under criticism for the manner of his BMF title win against Max Holloway, as he outgrappled the Hawaiian for the best part of 25 minutes and won on points. Some fans felt the performance was not in the spirit of the title's lineage.
Oliveira, a former lightweight champion, told MMA Fighting: "God himself couldn't please everyone, so imagine me." He added: "I'm not here to please anyone; I'm here to go out there, fight, and win."
He also said: "Then honestly, brother, here's the belt; take it somewhere else. That belt is not for me."
Oliveira, 37, will defend the title against Lopes in the main event of UFC 335 on 12 December. Lopes is a former two-time title challenger at featherweight, but he will move up to 155lb to face Oliveira.
