Rizvan Magomedov, Director Islam Makhachev on “”, said it was a good idea to fight with Leon Edwards .
Currently, Makhachev (24-1 in MMA) holds the UFC champion belt in the weight category up to 70.3 kg. In the next division (up to 77.1 kg), the title holder is the representative of Great Britain Leon Edwards. Days earlier, Makhachev wrote on his social media that he was open to considering moving up in weight for a fight for a second belt against Edwards. Later it became known that Makhachev will have a rematch with Charles Oliveira on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
– There was such an idea. Edwards is now free, so why not fight for the title in another category? There hasn’t been a full-fledged training camp yet, it will start in early August. Preparations for October are in full swing. Makhachev never left the gym, after the fight there was not a day when he did not train, ”Magomedov said on the air of the show“ All for the match! on the channel.
