Alireza Noei, coach of former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, spoke about the upcoming fight of his ward with Islam Makhachev.

“Charles' opponent, Islam Makhachev, is a very good wrestler. I think he is better Khabib, because Makhachev is a wrestler, and Khabib is not. Khabib sambist. Islam also did sambo, but he is first and foremost a wrestler, and then a sambo wrestler and an MMA fighter.”

Recall that the confrontation between Oliveira and Makhachev will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi.
