Last weekend, Islam Makhachev captured the title in the 77 kg division by defeating Jack Della Maddalena by unanimous decision.
"Ilia Topuria wants to go after a third championship belt. But I don't think it will happen any time soon. Ilia will defend the title a couple more times before even considering a move to welterweight.
And if you look at the welterweight division, there are plenty of contenders there too. Michael Morales has a 19-0 record, Carlos Prates destroyed Leon Edwards, Shavkat Rakhmonov was a title contender until he got injured. And then Belal Muhammad will be fighting Ian Garry. And finally, there's Kamaru Usman,” Bisping stated on his YouTube channel.
