Damir Ismagulov, UFC lightweight fighter, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira.
“Makhachev is already there, preparing for battle. A whole team works under him, he went through a good training camp. And Oliveira will most likely arrive in a few days. He will not undergo acclimatization. I do not know how to do that. But I saw how Sandhagen did it in the fight against Petr Yan. They neglect it, and it plays a cruel joke on them, because it is very important. I believe that this is exactly minus 10-15 percent. I'm sure that somewhere 60 to 40 that Makhachev will win this fight, because Oliveira fought with strikers. They beat him, sent him to knockdowns, but no one got involved in the fight with him. Makhachev is a basic wrestler. I don't think he will have any problems with it. He will hit and work on the ground. Makhachev will not be afraid of the struggle.
Recall that the confrontation between Makhachev and Oliveira will be held on October 22.
