UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev commented on the possibility of a fight with Ilia Topuria.
“I do not rule out the White House option. As of today, this is the most likely scenario. It doesn’t matter to me whether I fight in the co-main or main event. At the beginning of my career, I fought in the first bout of the tournament. This is not such a fundamental issue for me. I think there will definitely be no fight with Topuria in the White House because he already has an opponent. And the UFC is currently not interested in this fight.”
