If Israel Adesanya was a betting man, he’d put his money on the “uncrowned champ” Charles Oliveira to win in the upcoming title fight at UFC 280.

Islam Makhachev might have the Etihad Arena chanting his name in the upcoming title fight at UFC 280 but UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya believes this won’t stop Charles “Do Bronx” from causing an upset in the main event this weekend.

Charles Oliveira is not the clear favorite to win the fight against Islam Makhachev according to betting odds but “YouTuber” Israel Adesanya believes in his gut that the Brazilian will get his hands on the belt once again. “I’m feeling Oliveira. He reckons a first-round knockout and I don’t think so. But he has every right to,” said Adesanya in his YouTube video.

One of the main reasons why Izzy has decided to side with Oliveira is his recent wins against top opponents like Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje, and Dustin Poirier. “Oliveira is illuminated by god. Something tells me he’s going to cause an upset,” said Adesanya.
