Islam Makhachev extended his reign over the lightweight division with a first-round submission win over Renato Moicano at UFC 311.
The victory extended his winning streak to 15 and gives him his fourth title defense. It also raises his profile and begs the question: Who's next?
The lightweight division is never short on contenders or intriguing options. Makhachev has proven himself to be a dominant champion, but there are still some good fights for the UFC to put together for him to draw more attention.
Moicano couldn't take advantage of a surprise title opportunity, but this probably isn't the last we will see of him.
