Sean O'Malley, the current UFC bantamweight champion, expressed hope that Charles Oliveira will be able to take revenge against Islam Makhacheva.
“I want to see Charles win. This would be the basis for a major trilogy. Maybe he would challenge Khabib, although it’s not too realistic,” the fighter said.
Rematch between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi as part of the 294th UFC tournament.
Let us remember that in the first fight, Makhachev won ahead of schedule against Oliveira, “strangling” him in the second round.
