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.
