Russian lightweight UFC Islam Makhachev until he won the title in his weight category, but he is already making plans to conquer the welterweight division.
“I will win the lightweight title, make two or three defenses and move up to the welterweight division. I want two belts.
I told Usman: “Now you will beat Leon Edwards. Then you have a boxing match with Canelo and that's it. This completes your motivation." He answered me: “No, no, I will still perform.”
But I don't believe that someone with 100 million can force themselves to wake up early in the morning and stay hungry. It's impossible," Makhachev said in an interview with ESPN.
