UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has discussed his future, and more specifically, when he’d consider retiring from mixed martial arts.
As we know, Islam Makhachev is one of the most impressive fighters in the sport right now. In fact, some may even say that he’s one of the greatest lightweights of all time – and it still feels like he has so much left to accomplish.
In his next outing at UFC 311, Islam Makhachev will defend his UFC lightweight championship against Arman Tsarukyan. If he wins, and does so in convincing fashion, he’ll climb even further up the historical rankings – and closer to his good friend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
