\u201cDo Bronx\u201d recently called out other UFC lightweights<\/a> for allegedly not answering the call to fight in Rio despite publicly saying they wanted the matchup, which encouraged Gamrot to try and set the record straight on social media. <\/p>\n Gamrot was quick to express interest<\/a> in a short-notice fight at UFC Rio after getting the news of Fiziev\u2019s withdrawal, and Oliveira\u2019s latest comments didn\u2019t exactly sit well with the former KSW champion. <\/p>\n I hear you\u2019re worried about my style, even though you had a full training camp. I had none, and still I\u2019m ready to step into the cage. Two weeks left to prepare\u2013 and I\u2019m already in ATT right here.
