A discussion has emerged about who should be Islam Makhachev's next opponent, with the post suggesting Ian Garry first, followed by Joaquin Buckley. The reasoning is that both matchups would generate significant buzz and controversy outside the cage, which audiences want to see, while also being competitive and dangerous for Makhachev. The post notes that Vicente Luque does not generate the same level of excitement. The author invites fans to share their preferred opponent sequence in the comments, reiterating their preference for Garry followed by Buckley.
