Athletistic/ MMA. UFC President Dana White has revealed details of the organization of a lightweight title fight between Russian fighter Islam Makhachev and former titleholder, Brazilian Charles Oliveira.
“Initially we wanted Islam Makhachev to fight Dariush, but Beneil broke his ankle. Therefore, it makes sense to fight Oliveira and Makhachev in Abu Dhabi. Everyone wanted that, and so we made this fight “, said White.
Makhachev’s fight for the UFC lightweight title will take place on October 22 as part of the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi. At the moment, Oliveira has 11 consecutive victories, Makhachev’s winning streak includes 10 fights.
