Vasilevsky called Makhachov the favorite in the duel with Oliveira

Russian MMA fighter Vyacheslav Vasilevsky tells the “Championship” that he considers his compatriot Islam Makhachev favorite in upcoming UFC lightweight title fight with Brazilian Charles Oliveira .

– Judging by the last fight, Oliveira advances recklessly, cuts himself, misses a lot of unnecessary shots. He was knocked down by Gati, somehow he entered the wheelhouse without thinking. Makhachev, on the other hand, fights with restraint, in a more rational and thoughtful way.

He won’t take risks – that’s one hundred percent, he won’t trade. Islam will be better in a standing position, but will only put pressure, after which he will transfer the opponent at the expense of the SAMBO school. After that, he will control from above and take turn after turn. I think winning will be a referee’s decision,” Vasilevsky said.

The fight will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. Watch the live broadcast of the tournament card on the channel and the matchtv.ru site from 9:15 p.m. (Moscow time).
