Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion and now analyst, spoke about the upcoming rematch between the league's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira.
“The first fight between them took place in 2022. After him, Oliveira told me that he was not there, that he did not show himself. After that, he came out and did what we saw with Beneil Dariush. He has shown that he does much better when he takes his time and does not take damage. It was the best version of Charles Oliveira. The setting of the rematch with Islam is such that there are many reminders for Charles - the same place, the same hotel, the same arena. He must be very well prepared, first of all psychologically, to return to Abu Dhabi and fight Islam for the second time,” said DC.
Recall that the Makhachev-Oliveira rematch will be held on October 21 in Abu Dhabi.
