In the opinion of Javier Mendez, coach of the former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov quality Islam makhachev, fourth in the lightweight rankings, Charles of the Bronx You should go for the option that puts more money in your account.
“It goes to the money. The UFC is a business, they're going to do what they're going to do. Then look what Dustin (Poirier) did. What did he do? Was it for the title or was it for the money? He went for the money. Many of these fighters have reached a certain status where they show what they are by what they do. They go for the money, while other fighters show status by going for the title. In this particular case, since he already has the title, it has to go to the money. I believe that Charles will choose who will give him the most money”, said Mendez in an interview with journalist Helen-Yee.
Conor McGregor is recovering from a serious leg injury suffered in the defeat to Dustin poirier, in July last year. The former champion, who lost three of his last four fights in the Octagon, is expected to return to action in the coming months.
