Makhachev won't challenge McGregor if he becomes champion

Islam Makhachev said that in the event of a victory over Charles Oliveira, he would not challenge Conor McGregor.

“So far, McGregor is only tweeting. He always sits there because people have almost forgotten about him. He is trying to write something like that, after which people will talk about him. But I do not believe that he will return. Each fighter tries to call Conor after the fight. I won't challenge him after the fight because I want to fight real fighters who deserve a title shot. These are Mateusz Gamrot, Beneil Dariush and other guys.”

Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Oliveira will take place today in Abu Dhabi and will head the UFC 280. The belt of the organization’s lightweight champion will be at stake.
