UFC President Dana White spoke about the upcoming fight for the vacant title in the lightweight division between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev, which will be held on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.

“Charles Oliveira is one of the best guys you can deal with. He is a real warrior, it is never difficult to get his consent to fight. There are no difficult negotiations with him. This guy is always ready to fight.

Khabib has been saying for a long time that Islam will be the next champion and will dominate the division. First he needs to beat Charles Oliveira. Charles is not a cakewalk,” White said in an interview with the UFC.

Recall that Oliveira lost his championship belt after a failed weigh-in before the fight with Justin Gaethje on May 8 at UFC 274. A victory by submission in the first round guaranteed the Brazilian a fight for the vacant title.
