"Another shorty who talks." Makhachev reacted sharply to Topuria’s challenge

After an early victory over Alex Volkanovski and winning the championship belt in the featherweight division, the newly crowned champion Ilia Topuria gave out a dozen interviews in which he talked about his career plans. In particular, Topuria said that in one fight he will definitely fight with the current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachevym. Today Makhachev responded to this challenge:

“Another shorty who talks. Another short guy who wants to be crushed,” MMAUncensored quotes Makhachev as saying.

Let us remember that Makhachev previously met twice in the octagon with Alex Volkanovski and won against him twice. In the first fight, Islam won by unanimous decision, and in the rematch he knocked out Alex in the first round.
