Athletes have already crossed paths once.
The holder of the UFC welterweight title Briton Leon Edwards answered the question of journalists - is he interested in a meeting in the octagon with the lightweight division champion Islam Makhachev.
“I have a tough rematch with Kamaru Usman. After that, I won't be afraid of anything. Why not?”, – said the British athlete.
Edwards also admitted that about nine or ten years ago, he and the Russian had already crossed paths - however, in the gym for sparring.
“Then he sambitted me a little, but since then he has clearly improved his striking, and I have improved my wrestling. So, now it will be a completely different confrontation, ”the Briton explained.
