Makhachev voiced the condition for the fight with Holloway

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev revealed under what condition former lower division titleholder Max Holloway could become his next opponent.

As a reminder, Holloway will fight Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, which takes place on the night of April 14 in Las Vegas, as part of the lightweight tournament.

"If Holloway has some kind of extraordinary and spectacular finish, there's some chance, but out of those four fighters, he has the slimmest chance at a title shot. Which one of them deserves it more? I don't. I've already fought Tsarukyan and Oliveira, so it would be more interesting to fight with Gaethje," Makhachev said in an interview with the UFC Eurasia YouTube channel.
