Chael Sonnen voiced only half the truth, and we will help the puzzle come together to the end – why? Islam will not perform at UFC 300.
Announced yesterday, the UFC lightweight contest match between Charles Oliveira and just broke into the Top 5 Arman Carukyancould mean that in the spring Islam Makhachev will protect his belt from Justin Gaethje – the only candidate in this situation remaining at the disposal of the American League. But it turns out that the champion is going into a long drift until the next tournament in Abu Dhabi.
“Oliveira was supposed to fight the champion Makhachev, but Islam is still recovering from his injury,” Dana White said when announcing the fight on social media. Tsarukyan just knocked out Beneil Dariush. The winner of his fight with Charles will meet Makhachev when he returns in the summer.”
English-speaking fans immediately caught Dana in a lie, providing a photo of Islam working out on the horizontal bars, and versions began to spread as to why Makhachev, instead of Tsarukyan, was not fighting Oliveira at UFC 300. The closest of them to reality: at the moment, Makhachev is traveling in Dagestan and does not have time to cleanse himself, and, he refused to perform in the USA, for which White punished him by depriving him of his earnings for six months.
There is another one, repeatedly voiced on the pages of valetudo.ru, but this time I reproduced it on my YouTube channel Chael Sonnen.
“Charles doesn’t want to fight Islam to the point where he’s turned down the title again,” the promotion veteran said. The first time he was offered a rematch at UFC 284, he didn’t take the chance and it went to the Wolf (Alexander Volkanovski). Then the UFC booked them a fight for the second time, Charles accepted it with extreme reluctance, and soon received a cut… This wound is self-harm, he inflicted it on himself, guys! He just didn’t want to fight Makhachev anymore.”
“It was such good news to hear that the UFC found him another opponent, but the surprise was that the winner goes to Makhachev again… Before the Oliveira fight with Benny (Dariush), they said the same thing, and Charles then had one of the most impressive performances in your career. Oliveira and a rematch with Makhachev is an oxymoron.”
Everything is so, only Chael omits the cornerstone reason – Oliveira does not want to fight with Makhachev where it is physically impossible to win against Islam. These are the United Arab Emirates, and now a new location – Saudi Arabia, where everything will be the same with the lack of doping control, Aladdin scales, IVs and genies, but only for the necessary UFC personnel entertaining expensive sheikhs.
Charles has repeatedly asked to arrange a title rematch in Brazil or on neutral territory, but you can’t lure Mahaechva there, and the fact that Oliveira is now fighting Tsarukyan at the anniversary show in Las Vegas once again confirms this.
