Oliveira: Khabib is a great fighter, but I would beat him
UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira sure that he would be able to defeat the former belt holder Khabiba Nurmagomedova at the peak of a Russian career.
“Khabib is a great fighter. He went down in history and ended his career, but if we had fought when he was a champion, I would have beaten him and taken the title. Now I am making history, I am a champion, and I have already proved that I am at the top for a reason.
Makhachev? I believe that first he must fight with serious eminent rivals, and then already claim the title.
As for the fight with Gaethje, I will finish it with my hand up. I'll knock him out, I'm ready for it," the Brazilian said in an interview with the Octagon TV YouTube channel.
