Leon Edwards believes he and Islam Makhachev have some work to do before meeting up for a superfight inside the Octagon.
On Saturday night (June 1), the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ bagged his third successful lightweight title defense and his first against a legitimate contender at 155 when he submitted division fan favorite Dustin Poirier in the fifth round of their entertaining clash at UFC 302.
Following the contest, Makhachev voiced his desire to move up to 170 in an attempt to dethrone reigning welterweight titleholder Leon Edwards, becoming a two-division champion in the process.
