Islam Makhachev Says His Focus Now Is on Legacy, Not Titles or Money

Makhachev declared that holding the UFC lightweight title isn’t enough, emphasizing his pursuit of greatness. “After you become champion, you have to do something more… I’m not here just for money; it’s all about legacy,” he said. Having dominated the lightweight division, Makhachev now eyes a welterweight challenge and will fight Jack Della Maddalena for the title on 15 November.
