Khabib told under what condition Makhachev will rise to welterweight

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 22, 2022, 10:09 a.m.

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov spoke about the possible transfer of his friend and teammate Islam Makhachev to the welterweight division.

“It's too early to talk about it. Islam has not become a champion yet. If he wins and defends the title a couple of times, I think it could. When Islam is in good shape, he weighs 81 kg. Fight at 77 kg... I don't know. Here, with the same Leon Edwards, they worked very hard in 2015, 2016, ”quotes Khabib“SE".

Recall that on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Makhachev will fight for the vacant lightweight title with Charles Oliveira.
