Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov urged the matchmakers of the promotion to organize a title match between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
Oliveira failed the weigh-in before the fight with Justin Gaethje and lost the belt. An early victory over the American made him a contender for the vacant title.
“Is there really a more interesting fight in the UFC right now than Islam vs Charles?
Just bring these fighters to Abu Dhabi on October 22nd. Let the undisputed champion be determined, ”Khabib tweeted.
