Mendes named the next two opponents of Makhachev

UFC Lightweight Champion Coach Islam Makhachev Javier Mendes told who his ward will fight next.

“I expect Islam to defend the title against Volkanovski. It won't be easy by any means because Alex is the best P4P fighter, but I feel that Islam will beat him.

Then there will probably be a belt defense against Beneil Dariush. I think Beneil is one hundred percent deserving to fight for the title next, but UFC policy is what it is. All eyes will be more on Alex moving up in weight and challenging Islam than on Beneil.” – Sportskeeda
