Manager of the UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhacheva Rizvan Magomedov told when his ward could return to the Octagon and who his opponent would be.
“We are targeting March 9th. But we are still waiting to see if the UFC will be able to reach an agreement with one of its rivals. If it doesn’t work out, then there will be other deadlines. It looks like the UFC has other plans for Edwards. But if he manages to recover and they put him out, we are ready. But if not him, then Oliveira or Gaethje. It would be more interesting for me to have a fight against Gaethje,” said the functionary.
