Makhachev responded to Oliveira's accusations

Top UFC lightweight Islam Makhachev responded to accusations from Charles Oliveira. Earlier, the Brazilian said that Makhachev refused to fight him in Brazil.

"When they offered this fight, I said - it doesn't matter where. I said I would come to Brazil on horseback. I told the UFC I didn't care when or where - I just wanted a title fight. And just this guy was trying to get away, saying he wanted to fight McGregor, Nate Diaz. He wanted an easy fight, whereas I was ready to fight in Brazil, Abu Dhabi, or wherever. If it's a title fight, it doesn't matter where to fight. It wouldn't help him to have a home arena. When the cage closes, who's going to help him?"

Remember, Makhachev - Oliveira fight will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi.
