Makhachev offered Oliveira to train together

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev shared his opinion on former titleholder Charles Oliveira and also spoke on the Brazilian's desire to move up to welterweight for a fight with Colby Covington.

"Oliveira is a great guy. If he needs help, he can come to Dagestan and train with us. His striking technique and grappling are already at a very high level, and with wrestling we can help him.

Possible fight between Charles and Covington? I think he can finish Colby. He's an extremely dangerous guy, trying to finish his opponent every second. How many early wins does he have right now? I think, more than anyone," - quotes Makhachev BJ Penn.

Recall that in October 2022, Makhachev defeated Oliveira with a choke hold.
