Islam Makhachev called out fellow champion Leon Edwards for a super-fight following his UFC 286 win against Kamaru Usman.
Edwards settled his rivalry with Usman by winning a majority decision in their trilogy fight at The O2 arena in London. The Brummie executed a great gameplan as he nullified the takedowns from Usman to win by scores 48-46, 48-46 and 47-47. Makhachev was quick to call for a fight against Edwards just moments after his win as he tweeted: "I want Leon next, October in Abu Dhabi."
The UFC announced they will be hosting a pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi later this year at the same venue Makhachev won his lightweight title against Charles Oliveira last October. Edwards was asked about the possibility of facing Makhachev at the Middle East event, to which he simply replied: "Anyone can get it."
