Oliveira: "Makhachev calls other fighters, but he doesn't see my victories"

Dmitriy Kel April 11, 2024, 4:11 a.m.

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Charles Oliveira spoke out about the reluctance of current titleholder Islam Makhachev to hold a rematch with him.

Recall, in October 2022, the Dagestani defeated the Brazilian with a choke hold in the second round and won the title.

"I think it's funny. Because some guys win the fight and Islam shouts: 'I'm here, fight me.' He wants to fight even against guys from other divisions. But when I win, Makhachev turns a blind eye. What is he thinking about at all?" - said the Brazilian in an interview with Daniel Cormier.
