White sets condition for Makhachev's welterweight title shot
UFC President Dana White has assessed the likelihood of current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev competing for the welterweight title.
When asked whether Makhachev would earn a shot at the welterweight championship should he win his next fight, White responded definitively at a press conference, «Absolutely.»
Previously, reports indicated that Makhachev might return to the octagon at the start of 2025. The athlete has resumed training following a hand injury.
Throughout his fighting career, Makhachev has achieved 26 victories and suffered just one defeat.
