Daniel Cormier shares insight on Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev 2
In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, former UFC champion Daniel Cormier delved into the much-anticipated rematch between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
'DC' offered his perspective on why 'Do Bronx' rightfully deserved another title shot and highlighted the challenges he'll face at Abu Dhabi.
Cormier emphasized:
"The reality is, it is the fight [to make]... Someone wrote in the comments yesterday, 'You want to know the reason there's no one to fight Islam? Because Charles has cleaned out the entire division'... That's so true... That's why there's a short list of challengers for the champion because the guy that's No.1 has beaten them all... I think that speaks to the greatness of Charles 'Do Bronx' Oliveira."
