Islam Makhachev is gearing up for his much-anticipated vacant lightweight title clash against Charles Oliveira at UFC 280. The Dagestani phenom is riding an impressive 10-fight win streak with dominating performances over the likes of Bobby Green, Dan Hooker, Thiago Moises, and Drew Dober.
Can Islam Makhachev overcome the challenge of Charles Oliveira at UFC 280?
Islam Makhachev has been anointed as a successor to Khabib Nurmagomedov's lightweight throne since 'The Eagle's' retirement from active competition. The 30-year-old has expressed confidence in beating the Brazilian by utilizing his grappling abilities.
Makhachev recently gave a rundown of how he sees the championship bout going against the Brazilian in Abu Dhabi.
Responding to the UFC 280 promo on Twitter, Makhachev revealed that he plans to dispatch 'do Bronx' in the third round of their fight to capture the prestigious lightweight crown on October 22. The Dagestani wrote:
"First round warm up, second round drag him to deep water, third round get business done Inshallah β Canβt wait for Oct 22 ππΌ @ufc"

While Makhachev seems highly confident in his abilities, it will mark the toughest test of his career.
Charles Oliveira is on an 11 fight winning streak and has shown no signs of slowing down yet. That's what makes this fight all the more intriguing. Much like Makhachev, 'do Bronx' is also an elite-level grappler and has shown significant improvements in his stand-up game.
However, one fact that cannot be overlooked is the level of competition Oliveira has faced compared to Makhachev. Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, and Michael Chandler are a few of the names the Brazilian has recently defeated.
Oliveira lost the lightweight belt on the scale ahead of his clash against 'The Highlight' at UFC 274 in May following a controversial weight miss.
The Brazilian is now determined to reclaim the belt and prove that he's the best lightweight in the world.
