Who should Islam Makhachev fight next?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Now that he defended his title, who's next in line?

 

[Bojka]

Dariush if he wins. Otherwise... Poirier or Poirier/Gaethje winner.

 

[Slatersan]

Oliveira/dariush winner then gaethje

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Conor is the only logical answer

 

[Conan the K-9]

He should have a rematch with Volks in may/june and if he wins, then fight Oliveira/Dariush winner in autumn. If he loses, then fight Justin in autumn.

 

[Reign009]

There should be an option for just Beneil (without the Charles fight) because that is the right answer and it has been for a while.

Charles vs Beneil is unnecessary, they could have just made Islam vs Beneil.

 

[Adamant__]

Cancel the Oliveira vs Dariush fight and make Islam vs Beneil.

 

[Luthien]

No more hiding from Dariush

Wish I could do that, but he has a fight scheduled with Oliveira. Unfortunately for him.

I'm gonna be very sad if Beneil loses to Oliveira.

 

[nostradumbass]

I guess Dariush/Oliveira winner, but only if it's Dariush.

They should have made the Dariush vs. Islam match in october22 for the title eliminator. The way how they screwed both Beneil and Charles last year and now have them fight against eachother is just ridiculous.

Meanwhile Makhachev (after defending his title 1 time):

It's ridiculous.

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Should have been Dariush already

I understand it might not be a marketing dream fight but damn it would be a good one inside the cage. And sometimes, thats how stars are born.

Yep, and people were claiming that the belt can’t be vacant for a x amount of time, That’s why they had to force Charles to fight in Abu Dhabi. And what is this fool doing now? Holding the division. He should fight active in his division or vacate.

 

[Elvis.]

If Dariush wins him for sure , if Charles wins it’s a debate between him and the winner of Dustin Vs Justin

 

[Rank Squatter]

Champ Champ of course !!

that's the rarest fight we can get and it would be awesome to see Islam challenge himself

Man, Volk should have gotten that decision. I would be very happy. That was a wicked performance. And who really won really? Who broke who?

 

[NoSmilez]

I say Volk. It seems like Islam doesn't want to fight until it's Abu Dhabi event. It gives time for Justin/Dustin fight to settle. Both guys are going to take a lot of damage for that fight. I hope Beneil doesn't win against Olives. He doesn't want to call out any of his stablemates.
