“I don’t think that the fight with Tsarukyan is the most difficult test for Makhachev. I think the toughest opponent would be someone like Justin Gaethje. I think this is exactly what we should be prepared for. Arman? We'll worry about him when the time comes, but right now I'm not worried about it. I don't think about him at all. He's a great prospect... No, he's no longer a prospect, he's a contender, I'm sorry. But I’m not worried about him because he’s not our opponent yet. When he becomes a rival, then we will see what we can do with him. But as long as Islam wants to be a champion, he will be one.”
Let us remind you that in the first fight, Makhachev won against Tsarukyan by unanimous decision.
