Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira are set to face each other this weekend at UFC 280 for the vacant lightweight title. Surging lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot predicted the outcome when speaking with James Lynch last week and believes the Dagestani fighter will walk away victorious.
However, the Pole stated that he believes Makhachev will win via decision after five rounds of fighting and will need to avoid "stupid" mistakes against the Brazilian.
While speaking to Lynch on his YouTube channel, Mateusz Gamrot stated:
"This is going to be great fight, I think if Islam [Makhachev] doesn't make stupid mistakes he wins. I think my bet is going to be Islam beat Oliveira."
