Islam Makhachev’s manager Ali Abdelaziz believes it was a mistake for Charles Oliveira to bring in a wrestling coach ahead of UFC 280.
At this point, the MMA community is split as to who will walk away as the UFC lightweight champion when the Dagestani destroyer and ‘Do Bronx’ clash in the headlining bout this Saturday. Both fighters are on incredible runs as of late, with Makhachev earning 10 straight victories while Oliveira has scored 11 in a row including wins over Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje. As two of the best submission specialists in the game, the highly-anticipated clash could very well come down to who the better man is on the mat.
Preparing himself for a war on the ground, Oliveira added wrestling famed wrestling coach Alireza Noei to prepare for Makhachev’s smothering Sambo style of grappling. However, not everyone believes this is a good idea. Specifically, combat sports manager Ali Abdelaziz who represents Islam Makhachev.
“I humbly, respect Charles Oliveira, I respect his team. I think Islam is gonna dominate him. I don’t think it’s going to be even a close fight, on paper. The only way Charles Oliveira can win if you catch him was the lucky punch,” he said in an interview with ESPN.
TALK ABOUT INTENSE!

With his undeniably great Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills and well-rounded striking, Charles Oliveira is one of the most exciting fighters to watch inside the Octagon. Abdelaziz believes changing the style that has delivered ‘Do Bronx’ so much success this late in the game could lead to disastrous results. Particularly if he attempts to wrestle with Makhachev in Abu Dhabi.
“I think like Charles Oliveira, you don’t change what got you here, right? Charles Oliveira what got him here, he’s reckless, he’s spontaneous, and now, he learned how to wrestle,” he said. “And I think Macaco was a great coach, his striker is a great coach and I think the biggest mistake they did they brought in a wrestling coach. And I think you want to wrestle? Let’s wrestle.”
Islam Makhachev has already expressed a strong desire to take Oliveira to the mat and force him to tap or nap on Saturday. Oliveira may be best served by staying on his feet where many believe he holds the advantage. That could be easier said than done, but only time will tell. Will Charles Oliveira recapture the UFC lightweight title or does Islam Makhachev shock the world and begin a new era in the lightweight division?

Sharing an expected war-of-words ahead of their highly-anticipated UFC 280 clash this weekend in Abu Dhabi, UAE – former undisputed bantamweight titleholder, Petr Yan, and contender, Sean O’Malley were corralled after a physical run-in on stage.
Yan, a former undisputed and interim bantamweight titleholder, is set to make his Octagon return this weekend on ‘Fight Island’ – drawing O’Malley in a high-stakes clash, and potential title-eliminator at bantamweight.
As for O’Malley, the Montana native featured in the main card opener of UFC 276 back in July during International Fight Week against Brazilian veteran, Pedro Munhoz – battling over the course of two rounds en route to an official ‘No Contest’ after he landed an inadvertent eye poke on the latter.
Set to feature beneath an undisputed title fight between champion, Aljamain Sterling and former two-time division champion, T.J. Dillashaw at the Etihad Arena this Saturday, Petr Yan and Sean O’Malley required separation at today’s pre-fight press conference.
Sharing their fair share of verbal insults when occupying a microphone today in Abu Dhabi, Yan and O’Malley were corralled by UFC officials and security after the former shoved the Dana White’s Contender Series product during their tense faceoff, sending O’Malley backward across the stage.
Undefeated in his time on ‘Fight Island’, Yan first clinched the vacant bantamweight crown with a fifth round ground strikes stoppage win over the former featherweight champion, recently retired Brazilian favorite, Jose Aldo.
In October of last year ahead of his unsuccessful rematch with the aforenoted, Sterling, Petr Yan defeated Cory Sandhagen with a unanimous decision win in UAE to win the interim division crown.
In the midst of a four-fight unbeaten run, O’Malley has enjoyed a run of wins over the trio of Thomas Almeida, Kris Moutinho, and Raulian Paiva before his July outing against Munhoz.
