Islam Makhachev Can Cap His 11th Straight Win With A Championship
2 years agoThe opportunity has come for Islam Makhachev (22-1) to challenge for the UFC's lightweight championship when he battles Charles Oliveira for the vacant title in the main event on Saturday. Oliveira was stripped of the title in his last contest for missing weight. Makhachev has been one of the hottest rising stars in the UFC, winning his last 10 contests, with six coming via finishes. He is DraftKings' favorite to win the championship with a salary of $8,400. Throughout his UFC career, Makhachev averages 92.0 fantasy points per contest. He has yet to face someone of Oliveira's caliber, though, and we could see his win streak come to an end here.
