Gilbert Burns Backs Charles Oliveira To Defeat Islam Makhachev & Khabib: “Right Now, Unbeatable!”

Gilbert Burns has backed Charles Oliveira to win over Islam Makhachev in a potential fight next. At UFC 274, Oliveira beat out Justin Gaethje with a first-round finish to extend his dominant reign at the top.
