“I really think Islam Makhachev is number one pound-for-pound. He will show his class. I trained with Islam, he is a good friend of mine. We trained in Las Vegas two years ago. Wonderful guy, I love him. A fight with Oliveira? Islam on a different level. He will destroy Charles Oliveira and hopefully top the UFC pound-for-pound rankings.”
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Makhachev and Oliveira will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi as part of UFC 294.
