Javier Mendez, Islam Makhachev's mentor, spoke about the title prospects of his ward. The specialist did not rule out that the ex-UFC champion in two weights could get the next title shot Conor McGregor.
“It's part of the game. This guy is putting together big numbers so the UFC can do it. Anything can happen to a guy like that. Do I like it? Absolutely not. Can I do something about it? Of course not. Whoever gets this opportunity, I always say that this is not a real sport - it is first of all entertainment, and only then sport. And in this regard, the UFC wants to get as much money as possible. But I won't get upset. Let's see what will happen. I'm ready for everything. But if Islam doesn't get a title shot if he beats Bobby Green, then it won't be fair. Look at what Khabib had to do to finally get to where he ended up. He also had to go through a lot of difficulties, ”BJ Penn quotes Mendes with a link to Submission Radio.
