Rizvan Magomedov, manager of the current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhacheva, told when his ward could fight with Leon Edwards, the organization's champion in the welterweight division.
“If this doesn’t take place in the spring, then it will take place during the week of fights in Abu Dhabi,” the functionary said.
It is worth noting that the UFC holds tournaments in Abu Dhabi most often in the fall.
