Quick read
Islam Makhachev is pushing to insert himself into a potential Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje lightweight title unification at UFC White House on June 14. Gaethje, two-time interim 155lbs champ after beating Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, insists Topuria is his next foe post-Topuria's return from legal issues. Makhachev, welterweight titleholder, offered Topuria a three-division shot in a Telegraf interview. Gaethje visualized the White House walkout on Pat McAfee Show. This creates matchmaking drama for Dana White's landmark card. Expect clarity as Ramadan ends, impacting lightweight and welterweight paths.
