Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about the upcoming match between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira, which will be held on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE).

“Islam is at its peak right now. Now he is 30 years old, a week after the fight he will be 31. This is the best time for any athlete. This is the time when you must connect physically and mentally.

Now Islam is at such a peak, and I believe that in all skills he is better than Oliveira. Of course, there are certain dangerous moments that we are working on, where Islam must be attentive, but in general, Islam must go through it with a skating rink, ”Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the UFC.

Recall that the vacant title in the UFC lightweight division will be at stake in the meeting between Makhachev and Oliveira.
