Top UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad commented on the cancellation of the title fight in the division below between Islam Makhachev And Charles Oliveira, who was supposed to headline the UFC 294 tournament.
Let us remind you that Oliveira received a cut 10 days before the fight; Alexander Volkanovski came to replace him.
“Charles got what he wanted. It will not be given away in Abu Dhabi. Training is the hardest part of the job. But before the main fight of life, before the most important revenge... you get a cut. Who do you train with anyway, buddy?
That happens. Pettis suffered a severe cut before his fight with Poirier. Nothing, I got stitched up and went out to fight. The wound opened in the battle, but he fought. I believe that Charles did not want to go to Abu Dhabi. He did not want to fight Makhachev on enemy territory. He wanted to perform where he felt comfortable. He decided not to fight,” Muhammad was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
