Charles Oliveira takes on Khabib's Prodigy Islam Makhachev in a much anticipated lightweight title fight at UFC 280.
The rivalry between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev's team has been one of the talking points ahead of this title fight.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, Ali Abdelaziz, and even Islam Makhachev have made multiple disrespectful remarks about Charles Oliveira ahead of UFC 280.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former lightweight champion, has discredited Charles Oliveira's achievements in UFC and predicted an easy win for Islam Makhachev.
And recently, Khabib made another bizarre statement, which left the fans surprised. The Eagle predicted Oliveira won't be able to fight at UFC 280.
"I just think Charles Oliveira will not show up in Abu Dhabi and the UFC will replace Charles with Beneil Dariush."- Khabib Nurmagmedov tweeted
Khabib went on to say that regardless of the opponent, Islam Makhachev will be the next best lightweight of the world at UFC 280.
Charles Oliveira did fail to make weight for his last title fight. However, it's most likely that fans will witness Oliveira vs Makhachev fighting for the title at UFC 280.
Leon Edwards' kick was so brutal that it made Kamaru Usman lose his memory.
