Russian Islam Makhachev after beating the Australian Alexander Volkanovski can have a dialogue with the head of the UFC Dana White from a dominant position and choose new opponents for himself, says AMC Fight Nights fighter Alexei Makhno .
On Sunday, Makhachev defeated Volkanovski by unanimous decision at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia, defending his lightweight title for the first time and leading the UFC rankings regardless of weight class (pound for pound).
– Now Makhachev can command whoever he wants. If he can dialogue with White not on equal footing, Dana will be forced to rely on the advice of his dominant champion.
He is now the best in the pound-for-pound rankings. Who else should he beat? When it comes to sports, Islam has long proven everything to everyone. Let him become a world famous sports figure and earn a lot of money,” Makhno said on channel’s Special Reporting.
In mixed martial arts, 31-year-old Makhachev has won 24 and suffered one loss.
Live broadcasts of UFC fights can be seen on the federal channel and thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
