Oliveira's coach: “Makhachev wants to avoid a fight with Charles by any means”

Trainer of former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira Diego Lima is confident that the current belt holder Islam Makhacheva will in every possible way avoid a rematch with his ward.

“I don’t want to stir up controversy. Makhachev is great, he became a champion for a reason. He's very good and has all the qualities, but I think it's clear that he doesn't want to fight Charles again. He wants to avoid this fight in any way,” the MMA Fighting specialist quotes.

Let us remember that in October 2022, Makhachev defeated Oliveira by choke in the second round. Exactly a year later, the fighters were supposed to meet in a rematch, but the Brazilian withdrew from the fight due to injury.
