President of the Russian AMC Fight Nights League, promoter Kamil Hajiyev shared his expectations for the UFC title fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira .
Makhachev and Oliveira will fight on October 22 at UFC 280.
– The main chance of Islam, which it should take advantage of, is its domination on the ground. He is a very strong fighter. Khabib has talked about it, and when Khabib praises someone as a fighter, it means a lot, because he himself has solid ground. Also, imagine how many years Khabib worked with Islam down there.
– Do you think that Islam will always be much lower in popularity than Khabib or Khamzat Chimaev, even with a championship belt?
Something is missing, yes. I don’t even know how to say it, but something is missing. here Jan closer to Khabib and Chimaev. Some of them seem to have a different energy, closer to the viewer.
In principle, no one will ever be like Khabib, because, firstly, it was a discovery, and secondly, he is undefeated. Islam has it. Khabib had Conor and you won’t find such brilliant opponents either. Gadzhiev told .
Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov have been training together for about 20 years. Nurmagomedov has supported Makhachev in all of his recent UFC fights.
Makhachev’s statistics – 22 wins, 1 loss, the fighter is 30 years old. Charles Oliveira has a 33-8 record in MMA and is two years older than Makhachev.
