Athletistic/ MMA. Diego Lima, trainer of Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter Charles Oliveira, said it was still too early for Russian fighter Islam Makhachev to fight Charles for the UFC lightweight title.
“I’m not minimizing Makhachev because he’s a beast. He’s a top notch fighter, both standing and wrestling. But who in the top 5 did he fight? Look what Charles went through to get the belt. Ferguson even after 12 wins in a row did not get a title. So why should Makhachev?” Lima noted.
Islam Makhachev last fought on February 26, 2022 with American MMA fighter Bobby Green. The Russian won by technical knockout in the first round. Makhachev’s statistics in professional mixed martial arts – 22 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws.
Charles Oliveira last entered the octagon on May 7, 2022. In a fight with American Justin Gaethje, the Brazilian won by rear naked choke in the first round. Oliveira has 33 wins, 8 losses, 0 draws and 1 missed bout in professional MMA.
