Russian champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Islam Makhachev assessed the level of Brazilian Charles Oliveira before the rematch. The athlete’s words are quoted by Lowkick MMA.
“I beat him once and I want to beat him again to prove it wasn’t luck. He’s a cool guy. He is very good on the ground, he has good punches. But I’m better,” said Makhachev.
