Makhachev spoke about winning the championship in the third division

Islam Makhachev, the UFC welterweight champion, answered the question of whether he plans to move up to middleweight and become a champion there.

“Cormier just brought me a cake in the locker room. But it will be very difficult to gain such weight, I don’t even know. Today I feel great, feel ready to fight anyone. It is very difficult in lightweight to cut weight, recover well, and show good results. Today I feel that this is my weight class.”
