Athletistic/ Boxing. Alireza Noei, wrestling trainer of Brazilian lightweight Charles Oliveira, says Russia’s Islam Makhachev won’t be able to impose his style on his neighborhood.

“Let’s start with wrestling from Dagestan. 80% of Russian wrestling comes from there. You can ask the judokas, there are also good judokas in Dagestan. World champions, Olympic champions…every Dagestani knows how to wrestle.

Charles’ opponent, Islam Makhachev, is very good at wrestling. But Islam cannot bring Charles down. If he does, it won’t be easy for him to take control, like other opponents,” BloodyElbow quotes a specialist.
