Dmitriy Kel Dec. 14, 2021, 6:23 p.m.

Top UFC lightweight Islam Makhachev shared his expectations from the fight of the reigning champion of his division Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje.

“Gaethje hits hard, but I think Oliveira will be able to get through this flurry of punches, put him on the ground and finish like he did against Poirier. I think I will have a great fight with Oliveira. But let's not look far ahead, I still have a good rival - Beneil Dariush. He is not weaker than Oliveira,” Makhachev said at a press conference in Moscow.

Earlier information that the next rival of Oliveira will be Gaethje, was confirmed by the head of the promotion Dana White.
