Makhachev: Oliveira Can't Do Anything in the Rematch. Same Goes for Volkanovski

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev believes that neither Charles Oliveira nor Alex Volkanovski will be able to do anything against him in potential rematches.

Islam Makhachev
I don't think Oliveira will be able to do anything in a rematch. I'm not afraid of his grappling like the other fighters, I can take him down any time. Same goes for Alex Volkanovski. If they offer me a rematch with him, I'll gladly take it. I've said many times that I would be much better prepared for the fight if it wasn't for the organizational details. Will Volkanovski handle Yair Rodriguez with no problem? No. Yair is a high class puncher, he will put up a fight against Alex

At the UFC 280 tournament, held on October 22, 2022 in Abu Dhabi, Islam Makhachev defeated Charles Oliveira by submission in the second round.

In February 2023, at UFC 284, Russian Islam Makhachev defeated Australian Alex Volkanovski by unanimous decision.
