“Oliveira has been in the subject for a long time. When there is an opponent in your weight who wins, goes well, in any way you look at him as a potential opponent. Always, when you look at any fighter, you think: “Here, I will fight him, I need to do this, this and this.” Of course, we have watched, studied and are still watching. Oliveira throws the guillotine very well. We must be careful. He has such a body - disposed towards this. And his stance is very good: knees and legs, the types that hit the body, the head. Physically, I would not say that he is strong. But over the past couple of years, he has gained a lot of experience, confidence, and is on the move. In no case do we look at him as a passing opponent. But we are sure that we will pass it. We have such confidence. You need to carefully adhere to the plan, ”Orel said.
Recall that on October 22, Oliveira will fight Khabib's friend, the top UFC lightweight. Islam Makhachev. At stake in the battle will be the belt of the champion of the organization in the lightweight division.
