Islam Makhachev is the king of all categories in the UFC. Champion of the welterweight category, the Russian seems unstoppable. As a reminder, during his last fight, the Dagestani came to the end of Jack Della Maddalena by decision. For 25 minutes, the protégé Khabib Nurmagomedov dominated the match and, logically, the judges awarded him the victory. After his success, the new welterweight king was
call-out by many contenders. Ian
Garry, Kamaru Usman or even
Michael Morales all challenged the champion.
An opponent stands out:
At the moment, Islam Makhachev does not have any fights planned. Furthermore, the clash with Kamaru Usman no longer seems relevant. On the other hand, Ian Garry and Michael Morales are serious contenders for the champion. John AnickUFC commentator, believes one of them will be next. The American even sees the Irishman overtaking the Ecuadorian. On this subject, the latter explains in an interview:
« I think pure meritocracy on his body of work, despite Morales’ undefeated record and the sensational victory against Sean Brady that it will be Ian Garry. I just feel like Makhachev vs. Ian Garry is the fight. I think Ian Garry will be the guy, and he’s the most deserving ».
At this time, the UFC has not made any official announcement.
