Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about a potential fight for the vacant belt between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
“My prediction: the fight will last a maximum of three rounds. No matter how good it is, Islam is still better. Just remember my words, ”Khabib wrote on Instagram Stories.
Recall that Oliveira failed to make weight before the fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 and lost the belt. An early victory over the American made him the main contender for the vacant title.
