UFC flyweight champion Merab Dvalishvili told why Islam Makhachev should fight Ilia Topuria.

"At the press conference before UFC 311, Islam told me, 'Merab, I respect you, but when you have a top contender, you have to fight him.' I agreed with that. Now he has a main challenger in the person of Elijah Topuria, however, Islam does not want to fight him.... No one criticized Islam for this the way they criticized me," Dvalishvili said.
