Islam
Makhachev accepted Jordan Burroughs’ recent callout, but with a
condition.

Burroughs took on Magomed Kurbanaliev in a wrestling match at RAF
Moscow. Burroughs took less than 90 seconds to defeat Kurbanaliev
via a 10-0 tech fall and subsequently called for a wrestling
matchup against Makhachev in Russia.

Jordan Burroughs challenged Islam Makhachev after dominant win
in Russia

The Olympic gold medalist called out the reigning
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champ in his
post-fight interview.

“Islam, where are you? Hey, I came to your country, to your capital
city, and tech-fall’d one of your champions. I will be back to
Russia very soon and the only person I want to share the stage with
is Islam.”

Makhachev congratulated Burroughs on the win while calling him a
legend. The Dagestani accepted a matchup against Burroughs, but
inside the cage, probably referring to an MMA bout.

“Congrats on your win legend,” Makhachev wrote. “In the cage,
anywhere anytime.”

While many active UFC fighters, including Khamzat
Chimaev, Arman
Tsarukyan and Sean Brady,
have competed in RAF, Makhachev hasn’t taken on any wrestling or
submission grappling matches during his UFC run.
