Athletistic/MMA. Brazilian MMA fighter Charles Oliveira has issued a statement after withdrawing from his title fight against Russian Islam Makhachev. The Brazilian fighter refused to fight due to injury.
Makhachev and Oliveira were supposed to meet at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on the night of October 22, but the Brazilian suffered a deep cut on his eyebrow in training. He will now be replaced in the octagon by Australian Alex Volkanovski.
