“It is important to take into account that belts are only contested in UFC numbered tournaments, and there will be none in Brazil this year. Charles fought on June 10th and hasn't stopped training, so we have over four months to prepare. Another important detail: Charles really wanted this fight in Abu Dhabi in order to return the belt in the same place from where he could not return home with him, ”the specialist wrote on social networks.
Recall that the rematch between Makhachev and Oliveira will be held on October 21 in Abu Dhabi as part of UFC 294.
