At the same time, Gadzhiev spoke about the situation of Russian Islam Makhachev. The promoter believes that the UFC lightweight champion should move up to welterweight.
“Mokaev and Tsarukyan are the future UFC champions.
Commentator Rogan said that if he were McGregor’s coach, he would choose an opponent outside the top 15.
Makhachev wants new names? Yes, and that is why there is no need to fight Oliveira. He needs a welterweight titleholder.
Tsarukyan will become the next lightweight champion, it’s a matter of time. He will not remove the belt from Islam, because it is almost impossible, but he will,” Gadzhiev said on his MMA YouTube channel.
