Oliveira gave a prediction for the fight Makhachev - Volkanovski

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira shared his expectations from the upcoming fight between the current title holder Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski.

“These are two great fighters. Alex is great at defending against takedowns. He hits hard with his arms and legs. On the other hand, Islam is strong in takingdowns. When he transfers to the stalls, hard pressure begins.

I think Islam will win. But if Alex can defend against takedowns in the first round and impose a stand-up fight, he will have a chance, ”said the Brazilian in an interview with Super Lutas.

Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Oliveira will headline the UFC 284 tournament, which will be held on February 12 in Perth, Australia.
