Athletistic/MMA. Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov after the Eagle FC 49 tournament in an interview with reporters rated the chances of Islam Makhachev winning the fight with Charles Oliveira. The UFC lightweight title fight will take place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi at the UFC 280 tournament.

Oliveira: ‘I’m going to Abu Dhabi to shut the mouths of Nurmagomedov and Makhachev’

“I wouldn’t say that Oliveira has no chance. That would be stupid because Oliveira is the best fighter of the year. [2021]. I think 70 to 30.30% should be given to Oliveira anyway. Because it’s very unpredictable. Can fight both in position and on the ground. He can hit with the knee, the elbow, from a distance, with the foot he can touch the body and the head. A very unpredictable and uncomfortable opponent,” Nurmagomedov said.

Coach Abdelaziz: “Khabib lent the belt to Oliveira to keep it for Makhachev”
