Athletistic/ MMA. Diego Lima, trainer of Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter Charles Oliveira, spoke about his ward’s upcoming fight against Russian Islam Makhachev.
“Makhachev is a very good fighter, but he’s never fought a top 5 opponent. He’s good at hitting, near the net and on the ground. He’s got good jiu-jitsu. But Charles is better than him at hitting and on the floor. Charles is a guy, who fights all the time for a knockout or a submission. He doesn’t knit a fight, unlike Makhachev. Islam will want to tie the fight. But not as much as Khabib, because he knitted even more, “Sport24 quotes Lima in reference to the podcast MMA with Oswaldo.
The duel between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev for the vacant UFC lightweight title will take place on October 22 as part of the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Islam Makhachev’s performance statistics in professional MMA are 22 wins, 1 loss, 0 draw. Charles Oliveira has 33 wins, 8 losses, 0 draws, 1 missed fight.
