UFC star Charles Oliveira takes lion for a walk ahead of Islam Makhachev fight

Islam Makhachev Charles Oliveira UFC Beneil Dariush Alexander Volkanovski Mateusz Gamrot UFC 280

UFC star Charles Oliveira took a lion for a leisurely stroll as he prepares for his shot at winning back the lightweight title later this month.

Oliveira has arrived in the Middle East ahead of his upcoming fight with Islam Makhachev at the Etihad Arena which will feature as the main event of UFC 280 on October 22. For all intents and purposes, the Brazilian is the lightweight champion after winning his last defence within one round.

However, he was stripped before the bout for missing weight by half-a-pound, so the belt is now vacant. Now, he will look to beat not only the scales but a very difficult challenger in Makhachev, who is currently amidst an eleven-fight winning streak in the UFC. However, the Brazilian is by far the toughest test that he will have faced in the promotion.
