Gaethje: I hope Oliveira wins against Makhachev

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 6, 2022, 2:58 a.m.

Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje spoke about the upcoming match between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.

The fight for the vacant lightweight belt will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi (UAE).

“The question is whether Oliveira will be able to avoid a submission from Makhachev. If yes, then most likely he will spend three rounds on his back and lose by decision of the judges. This alignment is expected to be seen by everyone who understands at least a little about MMA. But if you look back at the recent Usman-Edwards fight, it's the best sport in the world where anything can happen.

I look forward to this meeting. I hope that Oliveira will beat Makhachev. I hope he can stay in the standing position or be on top in the ground. It would be great to see this, ”said the American in an interview with LowKick MMA.
