UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev shared his thoughts on his plans following a potential victory over Arman Tsarukyan.
Islam Makhachev for ESPN MMA
I don't know. If I'm looking behind Arman, if I beat him, I don't know. I'm tired to give somebody rematch, you know? I need the second belt, Belal [Muhammad] there. We will see. A lot of good fighters.
Recall that on January 19 in Los Angeles (USA), Makhachev will defend his title against Arman Tsarukyan in the main event of UFC 311.
The first bout between the fighters took place in April 2019 at UFC Fight Night 149, where Islam won by unanimous decision. The 33-year-old Makhachev holds a record of 26 wins and one loss. The 28-year-old Tsarukyan has 22 wins and three losses.
