Abdel-Aziz: "I don't believe that Makhachev and Muhammad will fight each other"

Renowned MMA manager Ali Abdel-Aziz has spoken out about the possibility of a fight between his star clients, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and welterweight title challenger Belal Muhammad.

"They've both worked their whole lives to get to the top. If they decide to fight each other, it will happen. I don't think Islam and Belal will fight each other. But if they decide to do it, go for it. It's their legacy, not mine," Abdel-Aziz told Submission Radio.

Recall that Muhammad will fight welterweight champion Leon Edwards on July 27. The fight will headline the UFC 304 tournament in Manchester, UK.
