For Charles Oliveira much in contrast with the Russian UFC champion Islam Makhachev depends on the psychological state, because in the first fight the Brazilian had problems with it, the Russian mixed martial arts fighter told Valery Myasnikov .
The rematch between Makhachev and Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title will take place on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and will be the main event of the evening. In October 2022, the Russian defeated the Brazilian via second round choke and became the promotion champion.
– Makhachev remains the favorite, as in the first fight. But a lot depends on Oliveira’s mood. It seems to me that in the first fight he gave up psychologically. And a lot depends on mental preparation and working on mistakes, as well as training camp. Although in such a short period of time, it makes no sense to redo yourself as a wrestler. You have to impose your own, prepare the preparations, have several battle plans. Well, we have to work in defense against the fight, Myasnikov told .
Makhachev has 24 wins and one loss in his MMA career, Oliveira has 34 wins and nine losses.
