Javier Mendes, the coach of Islam Makhachev, reacted to the challenges posed to his apprentice by Ilia Topuria, the current UFC lightweight champion.

“He calls out Islam, and what I like about him is that he is focused solely on him. He doesn't attack anyone else. A fighter can attack another fighter as much as he wants. Let it stay that way. I am satisfied with how he does it.”
