Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, spoke again about the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira. This time Khabib urged his friend Islam to be careful.
“Of course, there are some potential dangers, but we worked on all this during training camp. Still, Islam must be careful and, if possible, it is necessary to knock it down. It's my opinion. Maybe someone does not like something, but I share my opinion. People say that I am disrespectful when I say that Islam will easily defeat Oliveira, but I am not disrespectful…”
The confrontation between Makhachev and Oliveira will be held on October 22 in Abu Dhabi. The vacant UFC Lightweight Championship belt will be at stake.
