Moicano on the revenge of Makhachev and Oliveira: “Now is the year of the underdogs”

Brazilian UFC lightweight Renato Moicano spoke out about the upcoming title rematch between the champion Islam Makhachev And Charles Oliveira, which will take place on October 22 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"Hard to tell. Although before the first fight I predicted that Islam would dominate, and now I think it will be the same, but everyone highlighted how Strickland won the title. Could anyone have imagined that he would beat Adesanya so easily? MMA is a crazy sport.

Now, after Strickland won, after Sterling lost to O'Malley, I think this is the year of the underdog. Therefore, Charles has a good chance of winning. Although his opponent is very serious. Islam is a top-notch athlete,” Moicano said in an interview with Combate.

Let us remind you that the first fight between Makhachev and Oliveira took place in October last year and ended with the victory of the Dagestani by choke in the second round.
