Makhachev reacted to Gaethje’s bold statement

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev reacted to the desire Justin Gaethje become his next opponent.

Previously, the former interim division champion wrote the following on social network X: “Waiting for a call. Let’s see who will be the first to get the opportunity to rip Makhachev’s head off.”

The Dagestani couldn’t pass up this challenge: “I can do more than kicks. Be careful,” he replied.

Let us remember that earlier Makhachev repeatedly noted that he plans to hold his next performance at the UFC 299 tournament, scheduled for March 9 in Miami.
