Dana White, UFC President, reacted to the news that Charles Oliveira withdrew from the rematch against Islam Makhacheva.
“They (Oliveira’s team) didn’t call us. If they did, we would send them to a surgeon who would sew up the eyebrow. They only contacted us after the stitches were done. On the other hand, I understood perfectly well that they did not want to risk receiving such a blow,” said the functionary.
Let us remind you that Alex Volkanovski, UFC featherweight champion, became Makhachev’s new opponent.
