“Oliveira will not be able to stop Makhachev” – fighter Grebnev
AMC Fight Nights fighter Alexander Grebnev told RT that Brazilian lightweight Charles Oliveira would not be able to cope with Russian Islam Makhachev in the octagon.
– Makhachev is number one in lightweight at the moment. Yes, Charles Oliveira owns the UFC belt, but I think he will not be able to stop the Russian. Defeating Islam now seems like something crazy,” Grebnev said.
On account of the 30-year-old Makhachev, 22 victories and one defeat. In the UFC, the Russian has been performing since May 2015, and during this time he spent 12 fights. Now he has a series of ten victories in a row. In the UFC ranking, Makhachev is on the fourth line.
The championship belt was left vacant after Oliveira failed to meet the weight category before the fight with Justin Gaethje, but eventually achieved a victory over the American. At the same time, the Brazilian is the first number in the rating.
