Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz commented on the fight between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira, which took place on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament.
Recall that the Russian defeated the Brazilian by choke in the second round and won the vacant title in the lightweight division.
“I thought that Charles would do better and defend the belt. But Makhachev was too strong. Islam put on an incredible performance, congratulations to him.
Makhachev will definitely win against Volkanovski. Now I don't see anyone who can beat him at lightweight. But maybe someone will appear next year,” the Pole said in an interview with the YouTube channel James Lynch.
