Islam Makhachev wants multi-division UFC championship glory, but analyst Alan Jouban would prefer to see him stick in his own lane.
After setting the record for consecutive lightweight title defenses with a first-round submission of Renato Moicano at UFC 311 this month, Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) reiterated that he’s not going to leave the sport without a second title.
What that second weight class would be remains to be seen, but with a lack of desire to face current welterweight champ Belal Muhammad, Makhachev said he would accept a chance to face middleweight kingpin Dricus Du Plessis if it was offered.
