UFC CEO Dana White commented on the desire of the promotion's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev to fight for the welterweight title.
"The fight with Edwards? Makhachev didn't discuss it with us. Islam has achieved a lot in the lightweight division. We'll have to talk it over and think about it. He is one of the best in the world. I don't think it makes sense for him to fight for the BMF belt. Now we like the option of Makhachev - Tsarukyan fight more," White said at the press conference.
We will remind, this morning Makhachev won by choke from Dustin Porier.
