Quick read
Discussion is ongoing about who should be Islam Makhachev's next opponent in the lightweight division. Ian Garry is being suggested as the first option due to existing conflict and media attention between the two fighters, followed by a potential bout with Joaquin Buckley. Both matchups are considered competitive and dangerous for Makhachev. The Garry fight would generate significant buzz both inside and outside the cage due to their ongoing rivalry. Shavkat Rakhmonov is mentioned as less compelling from a promotional standpoint despite his credentials. The post seeks fan input on the preferred order of opponents for the champion.
