Quick read
UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev expressed strong support for a superfight against Ilia Topuria, the lightweight champion who vacated featherweight to move up. Makhachev told Telegraf he likes the idea, noting many fans want it and he's ready post-Ramadan (starting Feb 17). This could headline the historic UFC White House event on June 14 for the U.S. 250th anniversary. It matters as it pits two P4P elites, potentially delaying contenders like Arman Tsarukyan or Kamaru Usman, and gives Makhachev a big target after his November title win over Jack Della Maddalena. Expect UFC matchmakers to consider it soon amid Dana White's planning.
