Athletistic/MMA. Brazilian UFC fighter Charles Oliveira says he doesn’t want to fight Russian Islam Makhachev.

Ankalaev to Rogan: “How many more wins do I need to win to fight for the belt?”

The title fight between Oliveira and Makhachev will headline UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on October 22.

“I didn’t want this fight. I wanted to make a lot of money for another fight. But everyone knows I’m a UFC employee. You can’t avoid it. We tried to negotiate from all the sides. I tried the New York option because it’s neutral territory, but everything was decided in such a way that we will fight in Abu Dhabi. To be honest, I don’t care, because the cage is the same all over the world,” Oliveira quotes MMA News.

Ngannou and Cormier criticized the referee for stopping the fight between Pavlovich and Lewis early
