Brazilian Charles Oliveira nothing can oppose the level of struggle of the Russians Islam Makhachev who will end up winning the vacant belt cfu at lightweight, a Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter told Ivan Shtyrkov .
The fight will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. The fight will determine the UFC lightweight champion (up to 70.3 kg). Oliveira was stripped of his title in May when he failed to reach the category limit before a fight with Justin Gaethje that ended in the Brazilian’s first-round victory.
– I bet on Makhachev. Such a struggle as Islam, Oliveira has not yet encountered. He did not meet an opponent with such features and data. Makhachev will not be cut to pieces with him, like Gati, he will not make stupid mistakes that the same American made.
Makhachev is a competent fighter with good IQ, excellent wrestling and good striking. Yes, this does not always include percussion. But he and the team have a plan for the fight, which he carries out. I think Oliveira just won’t withstand such pressure in the Makhachev fight. But the fight will always be tough as Oliveira is a patient, functionally ready guy.
It seems to me that the fight will last all five rounds and the decision will be in favor of Makhachev. From the point of view of the sporting confrontation, it is very interesting. It’s cool that Makhachev finally had the opportunity to take the belt in this weight,” said Shtyrkov, whose words were provided by the Archangel Michael team especially for .
Oliveira has 33 wins and eight losses in his MMA career, while Makhachev has 22 wins and one loss. The last time the Brazilian lost was in 2017, his winning streak is 11 fights. Makhachev, who has been with the UFC since 2015, has won 10 fights in a row.
