Brazilian Charles Oliveira in principle, there can be no chance for revenge on the Russian Islam Makhachev said “” Russian fighter Vyacheslav Vasilevsky .
Sunday night in Vancouver, Oliveira defeated American Beneil Dariush by technical knockout in the first round. For the Brazilian, the victory was the first since losing the vacant UFC lightweight belt to Makhachev in October last year. At the time of the meeting with Makhachev, the winning streak of Oliveira, who won the UFC belt after the abandonment of Khabib Nurmagomedov, was 11 fights. Now, because of Oliveira, 33, 34 wins and nine losses.
– Surprised by this result. I saw Dariusz as the favorite, but Beneil didn’t show anything. Or he just didn’t have time to do it when he was already turned off. It was clearly not his day, but that doesn’t take anything away from Oliveira’s efforts and merits. Although Charles wasn’t surprised, Dariush just looked faded – nothing at all. After such a quick victory over Dariush on paper, the rematch between Oliveira and Makhachev is interesting. More precisely, this revenge will be of interest to the layman, but everything is clear to specialists – in principle, Oliveira has no chance against Makhachev, on the other hand, Vasilevsky told .
Makhachev, 31, has 24 wins and one loss. After a first victory over Oliveira, the Russian made a lightweight belt defense against featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski – in February in Australia, Makhachev won by unanimous decision.
