Finally slated to make his return to the Octagon in October, reigning lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev has issued a warning to former foe and prior champion, Charles Oliveira, as he prepares to draw the Brazilian in a championship re-run at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Makhachev, the current undisputed lightweight champion, is slated to headline UFC 294 on October 21., will draw the current number one ranked challenger, Oliveira in the Middle East, with the pair locking horns for the second time in a year.
Initially, Makhachev managed to mint himself as the undisputed lightweight champion, ending the 12-fight division run of Oliveira with a stunning second round arm-triangle choke in the main event of UFC 280 last October at the Etihad Arena.
