Islam Makhachev has reiterated fears that Charles Oliveira will not turn up to their showdown in Abu Dhabi
Ex-UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira took to Instagram to address rumors he will not show up for the main event at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi on October 22.
Oliveira was stripped of the 155 lb title on the scales ahead of UFC 274, after coming in half a pound over.
Finishing his opponent Justin Gaethje in front of his home fans in Phoenix, the Brazilian set up a mouthwatering clash with rising contender Islam Makhachev for the vacant strap.
Attempting to play mind games with the Sao Paulo native, Makhachev, who has 29-0 lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov in his corner, has constantly doubted that Oliveira will make fight night and reiterated these claims before the weekend.
“Two weeks before the fight, [and] Charles and his team [are] not in Abu Dhabi yet … should I start [to] worry?” the Dagestani asked on Twitter, sharing an image of a headline and subhead that claimed ‘Do Bronx’ would touch down in the UAE 20 days before the show.
On Instagram on Saturday, Oliveira coolly addressed Makhachev indirectly. He uploaded a photo of himself in a blue suit and sunglasses at ringside, holding up an official UFC 280 octagon-shaped card which read: “I’m coming to Abu Dhabi.”EditDelete
