"Makhachev is a beast I agree! But I like a tough challenge. I don't like to fight people I can run over with no problem. I like fights that fans look forward to. And everyone likes fights where the strengths are roughly equal. It seems to me that against Islam it will be just like that," Topuria said on the Full Send podcast.
Recall that Topuria last fought in October, knocking out Max Holloway.
