UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev stated that the fight for the vacant title is against Charles Oliveira holds a special place in his career.

Let us remember that in October last year, Makhachev defeated Oliveira by choke and won the title. On October 21, at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the Dagestani and Brazilian will have a rematch.

ā€œI think the title fight was the best of my life. Because I won the belt in front of my friends and fans. Khabib was there, my coaches were there. When you win a belt for the first time, itā€™s a crazy emotion.
