LAS VEGAS – Islam Makhachev is full of confidence heading into UFC Fight Night 202.
Makhachev (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) meets short-notice replacement Bobby Green in Saturday’s main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where he hopes to earn a title shot with a win.
UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has impressed with his well-rounded game. He knocked out Michael Chandler to capture the title, then submitted Dustin Poirier to retain it. But stylistically, Makhachev thinks he’d be able to impose his will on the champ.
