Athletistic/ Boxing. Russian MMA fighter Ivan Shtyrkov has made a prediction for the anticipated bout for the vacant UFC lightweight title (up to 70kg) between Brazilian Charles Oliveira and fellow countryman Islam Makhachev.

The meeting will take place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) and will lead the UFC 280 tournament.

“I bet on Makhachev. Oliveira has never met such a struggle as Islam. He has never met an opponent with such functionality and such data. Makhachev will not reduce it like Gati, he will not make a stupid mistakes in the same way American.

It seems to me that the fight will last all five rounds and the decision will be in favor of Makhachev,” Match TV Shtyrkov quotes.
