Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, explained why he doesn't want to fight Polish lightweight Mateusz Gamrot right now.
"Yes, Gamrot is a good fighter, but he needs to win a couple more fights. Because personally, I was going on a 10-fight win streak before getting a title fight. And Gamrot lost to Dariush," Makhachev said in an interview with Weighing In.
Makhachev's next fight will be against Dustin Porier. The fight will take place on June 1 and will headline the promotion's 302nd tournament.
