Dmitriy Kel Oct. 14, 2023, 9:52 a.m.

Well-known manager from the world of MMA Ali Abdel-Aziz said that the fight between his two star clients Islam Makhachev And Justin Gaethje is scheduled to take place on February 9th.

This will happen only if the Dagestani at the upcoming UFC 294 tournament, which will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, successfully defends his lightweight title in a fight with Alexander Volkanovski.

“Gaethje will fight against Makhachev if Islam defeats Volkanovski. The fight will take place before Ramadan. Gaethje did everything it took to get a championship fight. And Charles Oliveira lost his chance.
