MMA fighters manager Islam Makhachev Rizvan Magomedov on “” said whether his fighter’s duel with the British will take place Leon Edwards .
Earlier, it was reported that UFC lightweight champion Makhachev announced his intention to fight promotional welterweight champion Edwards. Makhachev wrote on Twitter: “Abu Dhabi, October 21. Makhachev versus Edwards. What do you think?”
“It all depends on the moment. If we have to wait a long time, we will probably fight in Abu Dhabi, regardless of the other competitor. It all depends on the weather. Fighting in Vegas is no problem either. Europe is also not far from us, so you can fight safely. So far no reaction [от стороны Эдвардса] did not follow.
There was an incredible reaction from Alexander Volkanovski. He writes that we avoid a fight or something, although he has the option of accepting this fight and competing in Abu Dhabi. But he exhibits photos of those who have been operated on. What is all this for? Just empty talk,” Magomedov said on .
In October last year, Makhachev defeated Brazilian Charles Oliveira by knockout for the vacant UFC lightweight belt. He held a defense of the belt – in February of this year in Australia, Islam beat Australian featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski by unanimous decision. Edwards beat Kamaru Usman in March.
