Former UFC light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith shared his prediction for the fight for the vacant belt in the lightweight division between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev, which will be held on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.

“I will no longer doubt Oliveira. I used to always doubt him and then ask myself why I did it. I have a lot of respect for this guy. But despite this, I thought that Poirier and Gaethje would defeat him.

Now I will rely on my intuition, and I think Oliveira will beat Makhachev. I really think so, ”Smith said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
