“To be quite honest, I’m ready,...“I’d fight because it’s a great opportunity. Charles is an idol for everybody, but this is our job. I need to work, he also needs to work. If this opportunity was presented to me — I already told my manager that I’m ready. I’d fight him, I’d make weight. But I know there’s a lot of people ahead of me. Big names, many people on long winning streaks at lightweight. … But if [the offer] was made, I’d definitely do it. It would be an honor to fight Charles in Rio de Janeiro. There’s no rivalry, no nothing. It’s work.”
