"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.
