Cormier has come out against holding a fight for the interim UFC lightweight title

Former American fighter Daniel Cormier has spoken out against holding a fight for the interim UFC lightweight title.

«Sometimes fighters get injured. Makhachev has been active the whole time. He beat Volkanovski in October 2023 and he beat Puryear in June this year. If Islam fights again in October, he'll have three fights under his belt in a calendar year. And with that in mind, there's no need to introduce an interim title», MMAJunkie quoted Cormier as saying.

In his last fight, Makhachev defeated American Dustin Puryear at UFC 302 in New Jersey (USA). On account of the native of Dagestan 26 wins and one defeat in MMA.
