UFC lightweight competitor (up to 70.3 kg) Russian Islam Makhachev wants to finish the fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC 280 ahead of schedule. Makhachev and Oliveira will play for the vacant championship belt after the Brazilian lost the title after failing to make weight in the previous defense.
– My goal is to finish it on the ground, and I’ll show you my level of grappling. All my opponents were good: Drew Dober, Dan Hooker, but when they were in front of me they had problems. I don’t know what the level of wrestling is in Brazil, and when it comes to jiu-jitsu, I fought a lot with opponents who didn’t have worse skills than Oliveira,” Makhachev said during of a press conference.
Makhachev (22 wins, 1 loss) and Oliveira (33 wins, 8 losses) will fight at the UFC 280 tournament. Watch the live broadcast from Abu Dhabi on October 22 from 9:00 p.m. Moscow time on .
