Islam Makhachev wants a second title, and he’s willing to go to extreme measures to get it.
“I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but I told them I’m not [going to] leave this sport without second belt,” Makhachev said in his UFC 311 post-fight press conference. “I need the second belt to be, and after I’ll talk like ‘I’m the greatest’ or something. But right now, my goal is to be double champion. I don’t know if it’s going to be next fight or when, [but] I’m still fighting, still winning. I defend my belt how many times the UFC wants, I will defend. When they give me chance, I want to be double champion.”
