Islam Makhachev, the current UFC lightweight champion, responded to the news that after defeating Volkanovski he rose to second place in the promotion's P4P ranking. It is worth noting that Jon Jones is in first place.
“I don’t know who compiles these ratings and why. I already beat the first number of P4P, and I was not put in first place. And now why didn’t they install me. There is nothing surprising. Maybe some benefits. Now he's going to have a fight, maybe they want to pump him up more or something like that. I don’t know how else to achieve first place.”
