Just today, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev announced that he is ready to move up to middleweight and fight the current champion of the division, Dricus Du Plessis. Later, the promotion's current middleweight, Frenchman Nassourdine Imavov assessed Makhachev's chances against Du Plessis.

"Could Makhachev move up to middleweight and beat Du Plessis? Of course, realistically, why not? It takes time to do that. If he decides to do it now, of course it's hard to move up two categories higher. If he gains weight, will be enough at 84, then why not?".

We will remind, earlier Makhachev stated his desire to fight for the title in the welterweight division.
