Oliveira decided not to insult Makhachev before the rematch

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira promised not to use three-pointers on the eve of a rematch with the current owner of the belt Islam Makhachev, which will take place on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi.

“Before the fight with Makhachev, the only time I allowed myself verbal abuse. It was a mistake and I don't intend to repeat it. Such mistakes can only be made once.

In the first battle with Islam, I did not show even 10% of my capabilities. It was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried to piss off my opponent with words. Now everything will be different, ”MMA Fighting quotes Oliveira.

Recall that the first meeting of these fighters took place in October last year and ended with the victory of the Russian by submission in the second round.
