"The winner of this fight may head off into the sunset. If Kamaru wins, then he will either retire or move up to middleweight for a rematch with Chimaev. Makhachev claims he's going to hold onto the belt for a long time. I don't believe it. If Islam gets this fight, it will mean he surpassed his brother Khabib in lightweight, took a second belt, and beat one of the greatest in Usman. What else is there for him to do after that?" said Buckley in an interview with the Submission Radio YouTube channel.
