Famed British mixed martial arts veteran Michael Bisping commented on UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev's desire to win a second title.
"Islam wants to become a double champion. But be careful what you wish for. Leon Edwards is a real sniper. Look at what he just did to Covington. Sure, Colby makes excuses - saying he broke his leg in the first round, that the judges didn't like his love for Donald Trump. However, the fact of the matter is that it wasn't a close fight. Islam wants the opportunity to be great. But he knows that in the welterweight division he will face powerful opposition," - said Bisping on his YouTube channel.
Recall that on June 1 at UFC 302 in Newark, USA, Makhachev will defend the belt against the encroachments of Dustin Porier.
