Oliveira made a prediction for the fight between Makhachev and Porier

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira predicts that the division's current "king" Islam Makhachev will successfully defend his title in his upcoming fight against Dustin Porier.

"MMA is unpredictable. Anything can happen, right? But we're talking about a clash of styles. Porier is a puncher, he has a heavy hand and a great boxing style. Against him, Islam, who is good in the stand-up, but his strength is wrestling and sambo. He will roll his opponent and smother him.

I think the favorite is Islam. But we're talking about Dustin Puryear, we're talking about MMA. So it's complicated. My opinion - Makhachev will remain the champion", - said Oliveira in an interview with Full Violence.
