A fighter from Kazakhstan Artem Reznikov made a prediction for the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira.
“The favorite here is Makhachev, but I don’t think this is a passing fight, because Oliveira is strong on the ground. It seems to me that in the stand, Charles is stronger than Islam. He sent guys who are drummers to knockdowns and knockouts. Take Gaethje - such a drummer, and he knocked him down and strangled him. Chandler is a good striker and he knocked him out. I think that it is more profitable for him to fight in the standing position. Islam will translate it, control it. I don’t think that Charles will do something to him from below, but Islam will not be able to enter the mount to finish off, or make Oliveira painful. I think Makhachev will win on points."
Recall that the confrontation between Makhachev and Oliveira will take place today in Abu Dhabi.
