Makhachev answered the challenge of the Onechampionship champion

“I would like this fight to take place. Let's do a crossover event: UFC Lightweight Champion vs ONE Championship Lightweight Champion. Let's see who is really the best lightweight in the world," Lee said.

Here is what Makhachev replied:

"Ha! You'd better focus on the next contender, Saigid Izagakhmaev, and then we'll see how good you are."

Recall that Makhachev won the championship belt by defeating Charles Oliveira by choke in the second round.
