Athletistic/ MMA. Former UFC lightweight champion, Brazilian fighter Charles Oliveira believes Islam Makhachev did not deserve a title fight.

“Islam Makhachev? I’ve never run from a fight and the lightweight champion’s name is Charles Oliveira. Islam is a badass? Wow. He’s fought the best fighters? No! He’s got a long winning streak, but who did he fight? Me, I don’t care about his style. What he does best, I do it 10 times better! If he thinks he can knock down and keep everybody in floor, so with Charles Oliveira it won’t work,” Oliveira said.

Oliveira previously dated Justin Gaethje. The fight ended with an early win for the Brazilian by first-round choke. However, that division’s belt (lightweight) remains vacant, as Charles failed the pre-fight weigh-in.
