Islam Makhachev Jokes About Triple-Champ Ambition: “I Can’t Eat That Much Anymore”

Ex-lightweight champion Makhachev laughed off talk of becoming a triple champion, saying his focus remains on holding two titles. “I dream of becoming and remaining a double champion, of going down in history as someone who has won two belts,” he said. When asked about a third, he jokingly dismissed it. Makhachev will face welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena on 15 November.
