Islam Makhachev has promised to "smash" Conor McGregor after securing his tenth consecutive UFC win to edge closer to a title fight.
Makhachev brutally stopped veteran Bobby Green within minutes in the first round of their meeting at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and has called for a world title fight.
But there is a chance that McGregor could leapfrog him for a chance at the belt with his considerable star-power, despite losing his last two fights.
