Top lightweight UFC Islam Makhachev expressed the opinion that the former rivals of the ex-champion in this division Charles Oliveira were too determined to win by knockout and were afraid to be on the ground with the Brazilian.

Recall that on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Oliveira and Makhachev will fight for the vacant title.

“His rivals tried to knock him out. They all knock him down, but no one takes the fight to the ground to finish him because they are afraid of his grappling. This is a huge problem. They let him get back on his feet, and then they try to deliver a powerful blow again and get tired of it. I think this is a terrible mistake.

What will surprise Charles in a fight with me? My strength and struggle. I am ready to fight everywhere: in the stand and on the ground, ”Makhachev said in an interview with Shak MMA.
