Kazakh veteran: “Oliveira didn’t want to fight Makhachev”

Kazakh fighter Zhaglas Zhumagulov reacted to the news that Charles Oliveira withdrew from the fight against Islam Makhachev.

“Oliveira whined that he was fighting Islam again in Abu Dhabi. I think he understood that he would not win against Islam. I don’t see anyone winning against Islam in this division. There is no such person who can create competition for him. I don’t know why he did such sparring, because of which he received a whipping. In theory, you should leave such sparring 10 days before. You can’t help yourself anymore. He got ready to go to Abu Dhabi too late; he didn’t even complete acclimatization. It is clear that Oliveira did not want to fight Makhachev. We drove along it for the first time.”
