French UFC Fighter Dreams of Title Fight with Makhachev

French UFC lightweight Benoît Saint-Denis has declared his ambition to face UFC champion Islam Makhachev.

«What do I dream about? I want to defeat Makhachev and claim the UFC championship title. The BMF title or a potential move to another division? I'll consider those options only after becoming the lightweight champion,» Saint-Denis stated on his YouTube channel.

The 28-year-old Saint-Denis boasts 13 victories in MMA and has suffered two defeats.

In his next bout, the Frenchman will face Renato Moicano at a UFC event in Paris.
