Khabib: "We are confident that we will pass Oliveira.

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his opinion about Charles Oliveira, who will fight his friend and teammate Islam Makhachev.

"We have studied him carefully and continue to do so. He has a very good guillotine. We have to watch out for that - his body is perfect for that technique. As for his stance, he has really good knees and kicks.

I wouldn't say he's strong, but he's gained a lot of experience and confidence over the last few years. We're not looking behind his back, but we're confident that we can handle him," Sportskeeda quotes Khabib as saying.

We should remind, that the fight of Oliveira and Makhachev will take place on October 22nd in Abu-Dhabi at UFC 280. But the fight will be about the vacant lightweight title.
