The story between Islam makhachev e Conor McGregor it is far from having an end. After victory in UFC Las Vegas 49 last Saturday (26), the Russian revealed that he is not worried about a possible 'queue jumper' in the race for the position of challenger for the lightweight belt (up to 70,3kg.) and promises to 'crush him' in a possible confrontation in the future .

Islam Makhachev confirms favoritism, beats Bobby Green and gets closer to UFC belt

“I just can't remember when this guy (Conor McGregor) beat someone for the last time. He has to come back (from the injury), beat someone and let's go. I will crush him. Bobby Green it was harder for me than he would have been,” Makhachev said at the post-event press conference.

The feud between the two fighters began even before Makhachev's rise in Ultimate. The Russian was involved in the provocations of his 'mentor' Khabib Nurmagomedov at the height of the rivalry with Conor McGregor.

Islam makhachev is close to a title fight in the lightweight category (up to 70,3kg). With a streak of ten consecutive victories, the Russian has only lost once in his career and has triumphs over names like Arman Tsarukyan, Thiago Moses e Dan Hooker.

Despite being in a bad phase in his career, Conor McGregor continues to be one of the main names in Ultimate. Former featherweight (up to 65,7kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3kg) champion, 'Notório' has a record of 22 triumphs and six setbacks, but is recovering from a serious injury in a trilogy with Dustin poirier. He hasn't won since January 2020 and has three defeats in his last four fights.

Fatal change? Makhachev ignores warning and could end tragically at welterweight!
