Diego Lima, coach of former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, revealed that two years ago former two-division champion Conor McGregor discouraged Charles from fighting Islam Makhachev.

"Before the fight with Makhachev, McGregor wrote to Charles, asking him to wait and not to fight Islam. They had a private correspondence and McGregor sent him a video of him training and running on the beach. If we had agreed and decided to wait for him, we would have sat for three years without fights. We can not wait, we must work," - quotes the specialist MMAFighting.

Recall, Makhachev won an early victory over Oliveira and won the vacant UFC lightweight championship belt.
