O'Malley explained why he will root for Oliveira in a rematch with Makhachev

UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O'Malley told why he will be on the side Charles Oliveira in the upcoming rematch with the current title holder in the lightweight division Islam Makhachev.

“I bet on Oliveira last time and I’ll bet this time. I just love his style. Charles is a spectacular fighter and it will be great if he manages to win.

At the same time, it is very difficult to bet against Makhachev. He is Khabib’s protégé, his student,” Bloody Elbow quotes the American.

Let us remind you that the fight between Makhachev and Oliveira will be the main event of the UFC 294 tournament, which will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi (UAE). In the first meeting of these fighters, which took place a year earlier, the Dagestani won by choke in the second round.
