Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has spoken out about the fight between current belt holder Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan, which is expected to take place early next year.

"They have very similar games, so I think they'll come out and look out for the same things. They each need to be careful both in the stand-up because they can both hit and in the parterre where they are both great masters.

They have very similar styles and they have to watch out for the same things from each other. I believe Islam is a little bit ahead of Arman, he's the favorite. He's a little bit stronger, but when it comes to the fight, either one of them can win," New York Post Sports quoted the Brazilian as saying.
