Makhachev: “If I stick to the plan, I can easily beat Oliveira again”

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev commented on the upcoming rematch with Charles Oliveira, which will take place on October 21 at the UFC 284 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Let us remind you that the first meeting of these fighters took place a year earlier in the same place and ended with the victory of the Dagestani by choke in the second round.

“Our first fight reminds him of the time he gave up. When he watches this fight, he remembers everything that happened there. He tried to apply pressure, throw punches, but when he doesn't have the insurance, he just gives up.

This fight is interesting to people, everyone wants to see it again. But if I stick to the plan, I can easily defeat this guy again. I believe in this,” ESPN quotes Makhachev as saying.
