In the lightweight division, there is Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira, who remain contenders for the belt. Beneil Dariush, despite his defeat against Oliveira. There are guys we can fight with, big names. Gaethje and Michael Chandler could make for some interesting fights. These guys are grassroots wrestlers,” quotes Metaratings.ru.
Makhachev, 31, won the 25th victory of his career with just one defeat.
