Rumored Islam Makhachev to fight at UFC St Petersburg.

[Deadwing88]

Opponent yet to be announced, looks like the Lee fight is off the table anyway.

 

[NandoMoura]

Feed him to Mairbek

 

[Espresso]

Al Iaquinta? Hes too high so it wouldnt happen

I think Islam would eat his lunch tho

 

[Sonny Qc]

whut another card in Florida?

 

[TNGS1]

Al Iaquinta?

Lol
Don’t be ridiculous
Why would the number 4 fight a guy outside the top 10 when he wouldn’t even face the number 6

Islam will dominate the UFC.

Taisumov or Trinaldo

 

[BRaVo cHoKe]

Very surprised they won't give him Kevin Lee. Seemed to be a decent amount of heat there and it's rare for Kevin to acknowledge a call out.

 

[Grapplefest]

He should co-main the card. I really hope it's vs Kevin Lee but it'll probably be against a fringe top 15 guy.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Should fight Carlos Diego Ferreira.

 

[andy9432]

I want to see some caucasus vs caucasus violence.

 

[fortheo]

He'll get another unranked opponent. This is now his third rumored fight. First it was Trinaldo, then it was Lee, now it's mystery man.

 

[in the liver]

Drago vs Balboa main event

 

[ChildoftheCorn]

Islam will dominate the UFC.

Down with Islam!

Gonna be a great card. My wife got me tickets for my birthday

Are we 100% sure it's not Lee? That fight was gaining some traction, and Ariel reported the rumored Gillespie vs Lee fight wasn't gonna happen and the UFC wanted to look at different opponents for both.

Still unconvinced to how reliable this account this..

Not sure what that broken Russian-English Google translation tweet is trying to say, but I'm assuming they're saying the Lee fight couldn't be made in the U.S so now it's in St. Petersburg? That Twitter account is pretty reliable when it comes to Russian fight news.

Damn, the original Twitter account that reported the Makhachev fight news retweeted a tweet by Mike Trizano saying fight news coming soon. Really hope he's not the one fighting Islam.

 

[Kneeuinthenutz]

Wow.

They actually convinced someone to fight him? It's about time.

Islam will dominate the UFC.

Heaven forbid lol
