UFC welterweight champion, Russia's Islam Makhachev, named the fighters he might face in his next bout.
Islam Makhachev, quoted by Bloody Elbow
At my event, two guys were fighting. Both won their fights early. Both are young and finish fights well but now we have a division, I think, the most active, the youngest, where the most competitive fights are. I think the UFC will decide soon. Yesterday there was a good fight. The former champion fought a young guy and I think we have at least three or four contenders now. In the near future, probably in two weeks, it will be clear who the next contender will be.
It is recalled that on November 16 at UFC 322 in New York, USA, Makhachev defeated Jack Della Maddalena by unanimous decision. At the same event, Prates defeated Leon Edwards by knockout in the second round, and Morales won against Sean Brady by technical knockout in the first round.
On November 22 at UFC Fight Night 265 in Doha, Qatar, Ian Machado Garry defeated Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision.
