MOSCOW, Aug 4. Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Charles Oliveira said he was not happy with the idea of a title fight against Russian Islam Makhachev. Note that the domestic athlete and the Brazilian are on an impressive series of 10 and 11 victories in a row, respectively.
"I did not want this fight. I wanted to get big money for another fight. However, everyone knows that I'm a league employee, you can't avoid it. We tried to negotiate, I tried the option with New York, it would be neutral territory. But everything was resolved so that we will fight in Abu Dhabi … Honestly: I don’t care, because the cell is the same anywhere in the world", quotes Oliveira MMA News.
