After Islam Makhachev suggested an October clash with welterweight champion Leon Edwards in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, E. Spencer Kyte sat down with Antwyn Jackson of Making the Walk MMA to discuss the lightweight titleholder’s tweet, Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria’s responses, and share their thoughts on the whole situation.
From increasing the gravitas of “Champion vs. Champion” contests and the need to clean out divisions to which fights to make for all three champions this conversation, it’s a comprehensive discussion of what it all means and how to proceed.
