Chandler gave a prediction for the fight between Makhachev and Oliveira

Top UFC lightweight Michael Chandler spoke about the upcoming fight between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev. Chandler considers the Brazilian to be the favorite in this fight.

“I will choose Charles Oliveira. I think he will do his job. I'm not saying that Islam is not a tough fighter, that he is not heavily promoted, that he will not become a future champion, but there is no reason why he should ever be a favorite in a duel with Oliveira. In the last fights, Charles finishes everyone he fights. It's just amazing. The rise of Oliveira's career from a relatively unknown, unreliable journeyman who had his ups and downs to a full-fledged number one lightweight in the world is something to watch. So show respect to his name. I think Oliveira will come out and finish Makhachev."

Recall that the fight between Oliveira and Makhachev will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi.
