Quick read
Islam Makhachev, new welterweight champion, says a superfight with lightweight champ Ilia Topuria 'definitely won’t happen' at the UFC White House event in June, as Topuria faces Justin Gaethje and UFC prioritizes other matchups. Makhachev remains open to it nearby, pushing for Kamaru Usman while Michael Morales and Ian Garry vie for contention. This clarifies welterweight title path amid cross-division hype. Topuria's unification looms large for lightweight. Expect Makhachev's next foe soon via negotiations.[3]
