Now, with the holy month of Ramadan coming to an end, anticipation is building once again. Fans are calling for Makhachev’s next fight, and it seems the wait may soon be over.

Team Khabib has recently dropped a hint suggesting that fight news could be just around the corner, fueling speculation and excitement across the MMA community. Islam Mamedov recently shared a video on Instagram showing UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev back in the gym and preparing for his next bout.

Cejudo revealed that Nurmagomedov doesn’t support Ilia Topuria getting an immediate title shot against Islam Makhachev. Khabib believes it wouldn’t be fair, especially since Islam already gave Alexander Volkanovski two chances and even moved up in weight. According to Cejudo, Khabib will help decide Islam’s next fight and wants Topuria to face the number-one contender first before earning a shot at the lightweight title.

It would be exciting to see Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria fight. There’s already a lot of talk about it, and if it happens, it won’t just be about the title. Topuria would try to prove he’s ready for the top, while Islam would want to show why he’s the champion. If they meet in the cage, it could be one of the biggest fights fans have seen in a while.
