Charles Oliveira, former UFC lightweight champion, accused Islam Makhachev of dishonesty. According to Oliveira, Islam is not entirely honest when he says he was fighting Charles in Brazil.
"Everybody knows who I wanted to fight, and I didn't think the fight with Makhachev would happen now. They talked so much about taking the fight in Brazil, so that's a lie. I asked them to arrange that fight in Rio, but they refused. If they had agreed to fight in Brazil, we would have fought in January. The truth is that they talked and talked and talked, but they took the fight where they wanted it. It's no big deal. The Octagon is the same anywhere in the world, in any country. I'll be one hundred percent ready."
Recall, the Oliveira-Makhachev fight will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi.
