Makhachev may headline UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia

Islam Makhachev, the current UFC lightweight champion, could headline the organization's debut tournament in Saudi Arabia. This was reported by famous journalist and insider Ariel Helwani.

“The first time I heard mention of this event was from Islam Makhachev, who announced that he was going to fight Justin Gaethje at a number event on June 8, and in the light of new information his words make a lot of sense - obviously he knew something in advance,” - Helwani said.
