Former UFC Lightweight Champion Coach Charles Oliveira Diego Lima spoke about the upcoming fight of his ward against Islam Makhachev, which will take place on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Recall that at stake this meeting will be a vacant belt in the lightweight division.

“We have done our best to make Charles 100% adaptable to the time zone and climate. Since we arrived, we've been doing one workout in the morning and another in the evening, just like we did in Brazil.

Of course, Makhachev's coach should praise his student, just like me. He believes that Islam will defeat Charles when it wants to. And I believe that Oliveira will knock out Makhachev in the first or second round. If a coach doesn't believe in his fighter, then who will? Sherdog quotes Lima.
