Brazilian veteran of mixed martial arts Demian Maya speculated about a potential fight for the UFC lightweight belt between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.

“If there is a man who can beat a fighter like Islam, then it is Oliveira, because Charles is strong on the ground. You need to have excellent skills on the ground to defeat such an opponent.

Your guard should be good not only to survive, but also to be dangerous and attack. Charles has it. He is very dangerous for a fighter like Islam. And this is not to mention the fact that Charles is damn good in the rack, ”Maya MMA Fighting quotes.
