[embedded content]

Islam Makhachev thinks he can stop Arman Tsarukyan inside the distance in their upcoming matchup.

Makhachev looks to defend his lightweight strap against Tsarukyan in the main event at UFC 311 on Jan. 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The two previously met in 2019 when Makhachev roped in a hard-fought unanimous decision win. Tsarukyan stepped in on short notice against Makhachev for his UFC debut and displayed impressive takedown defense against the Dagestani. While it is widely regarded by some as Makhachev’s toughest outing to date, the lightweight champ disagrees. Makhachev claims that although Tsarukyan was a tough matchup, his toughest outing was his unanimous decision win over Alexander Volkanovski in his first title defense. Makhachev also believes his initial clash with Tsarukyan was competitive because he might have underestimated “Ahalkalakets.”

“It was one of the hardest fights of course but it’s not to…

Ilia Topuria took a dig at Conor McGregor after the Irishman mentioned his name.

McGregor recently dismissed rumors of a bout against Topuria. The Dubliner instead claims to have initial agreements with the billionaire Ambani family in India for a boxing match against YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul. However, “Notorious” still plans to eventually return to the Octagon.

“The rumors of a bout with [Topuria] are false,” McGregor wrote on X. “I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
