Earlier, Makhachev announced his intention to attend a tournament in the United States on December 16, where the champion of the welterweight category will be decided in the duel between Edwards and Covington. Makhachev himself has already successfully defended the UFC lightweight championship belt twice and has repeatedly expressed his desire to become champion in two weight categories.
— You mentioned that you were going to watch the fight between Colby Covington and Leon Edwards in the United States on December 16, where they will compete for the welterweight championship belt. Is it possible that after the fight you enter the cage and challenge the winner, like what Volkanovski did to you after the Oliveira fight?
– I think such a possibility exists. But of course, management should be interested in this fight. Before the tournament, we will discuss this with the UFC management, but if such an opportunity arises, I will not miss it, ”Makhachev explained to Match TV.
