Russian Lightweight UFC Islam Makhachev said his closest rival, the Brazilian Charles Oliveira did not meet serious rivals on its way.
Oliveira previously said Makhachev only got the title because of his friendship with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
– First, tell me, who did he fight before the title fight? Who? Who are these guys. Then he beat Chandler and became the champion,” Makhachev told reporters.
Makhachev and Oliveira will fight for the UFC lightweight title. The fight will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.
