Islam Makhachev’s head coach Javier Mendez has revealed what improvements they expect to see from Charles Oliveira at UFC 294.

Last year, Islam Makhachev became the UFC lightweight champion by submitting Charles Oliveira at UFC 280. Now, one year later, the two will run it back as ‘Do Bronx’ attempts to reclaim the gold he lost.

In the eyes of many, Oliveira is going to come forward with a different strategy in comparison to the first bout he had against Makhachev. Whether or not that will lead to a different result, of course, remains to be seen.
