Sounds like he'll stick around to become GOAT and most legit double champ ever

New UFC welterweight champ Islam Makhachev addresses Ilia Topuria, Michael Morales, and more.

“Everybody,” Makhachev said at the evening’s post-fight press conference when asked who he’d like to defend against first. “This is the most competitive division right now, welterweight. Sure, 100 percent, a lot of young guys who fought today. Next week, a couple of guys [Belal Muhammad and Ian Machado Garry] are going to fight. Also Kamaru [Usman], [Ilia] Topuria, all killers want to take my belt. I don’t give it up. I’m working so hard to be double champion and I feel today I don’t have to cut much weight and I’m going to defend my belt many, many times more.”


“No injury, nothing, I don’t feel any pains,” Makhachev said. “I am ready. Who’s going to be next? Let’s do this and I will make it easy. Today, I showed, Jack’s one of the best in this game, one of the hardest opponents, that’s why I prepared so hard, to make this easy. This is our plan and I did exactly–I tried to do some chokes, tried to make kimura, but he defends very well. I make this easy because I was training so hard.”

He better be on that usman arc where he stops dry humping opponents and starts knocking them out.

Great performance, boring fight.

Finished 8 of his last 9 fights

Finished 8 of his last 9 fights

No one is disputing that. Did he finish his last fight tho?

 

[Dagestanaev]

He will run away from Shavkat

 

[Histalian]

He will run away from Shavkat

Is he still injured?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

And Shercucks were crying because he said he would fight Usman. Makhagoat does not pick fights.. he wins them.

Who is sherdogs darling at WW? Book him vs Islam so he makes this entire forum cry.

 

[hbombbisping]

He will run away from Shavkat

The guy who Ian Garry took down and got pieced up by Geoff Neil?

Shavkat is alright but he's overhyped and ain't all that.

 

[Blastbeat]

i would like to see Islam defend next against either Prates, Shakvat or Morales.
if Usman wins another, throw him in the mix too. a shame Brady got KO'd, but i would like to see that matchup eventually as well. i dont really care to see BBL Garry fight him but thats also an option if Garry beats Belal.
Topuria needs to defend his title at LW before even considering moving up to WW.

You make it look Sleepy bro.

Islam... the MMA'r of peace.

 

[Last Falconry]

counterpoint: probably not, no

 

[sdpdude9]

Morales or Garry if he beats Belal would be most deserving. Shavkat’s been inactive too long and his claim has dwindled. Usman and Prates need another win.

 

[xentreos]

Ian Garry could be an interesting match up.

 

[hswrestler]

He will run away from Shavkat

Assuming Shavkat gets past MiGOAT Morales

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

No one is disputing that. Did he finish his last fight tho?

Lying by omission isn't cool either. No need to paint him as boring when only his last fight out of the previous 9 wasn't a finish. Is normal.

 

[SuperNerd]

I'd be shocked if he does more than 2

 

[Conan the K-9]

Haramdan starts in mid February next year if google is correct. Then he should fight once before that. I want to be surprised.
