Makhachev's manager assessed the prospects for his fight with Chimaev
This has been talked about for a long time.
After once the Russian lightweight champion Islam Makhachev did not rule out his transition to a heavier division, rivals immediately began to be assumed under him.
Perhaps the name of the top Swedish welterweight of Chechen origin, Khamzat Chimaev, was mentioned most often in this story.
Commenting on all these conversations, Makhachev's manager, Rizvan Magomedov, explained why such a fight is unlikely.
As for Islam himself, he still has a lot of work to do at lightweight. And only after thoroughly clearing it, he can think about moving to another division.
“As for Chimaev, he moves to middleweight. This is already 84 kg, this is already far away. So, they are even potentially unlikely with Makhachev, ”said the specialist.
