^ Wtf... Again? What is it with that guy and hit n runs? It seems like he has a mean streak and he's doing it on purpose.
I don't think he's doing it on purpose but he obviously has issues and is not a good man in my opinion. He's been caught drink driving numerous times, arrested for domestic abuse, arrested for hitting a stripper and assaulting a female drug-testing agent, not to mention busted for PEDs numerous times. He's in trouble more than he's out of it and I don't think the MMA world will miss him much.
Tom Aspinal said he's got an opponent lined up and it will be announced soon.
Why it looks like Oliveira is going to lose? Topuria wanted Makhachev, but got Oliveira. I dont think its easy to break Oliveira mentally and make him surrender before the fight. He has been in this business for too long. He has already tasted bitter of a loss when he has lost belt to Makhachev, had tears if happiness when he has got that belt. Win or lose, Oliveira does not lose anything. Topuria instead should be worrier. New division, he is under pressure due hype and his talks.
I think it will be closer than expected but my money is still on Topuria.
