Nazim Sadykhov Says Ilia Topuria Should Defend The Lightweight Title Before Chasing Islam

Lightweight Sadykhov (11-1) thinks Topuria should slow down talk of fighting Makhachev at welterweight. “What is this one fight and no defense?” he said. Sadykhov, undefeated in the UFC, added, “Let’s get some defenses in there too. Let’s be a dominant champ.” He said moving now “would be a freak show,” but admitted, "If it happens, I'm definitely tuning in."
