Islam Makhachev doesn’t see any option but a lightweight title fight after another dominant victory at UFC 267 . Makhachev (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) extended his winning streak to nine fights on Saturday when he submitted Dan Hooker (21-11 MMA, 11-7 UFC) with a Kimura in the first round of their featured bout at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Many considered it to be the toughest matchup of his career, but Makhachev had little problem getting his hand raised. With his teammate and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov now more than a year removed from giving up the belt for retirement, Makhachev said he has to be next to fight for the title against the winner of champ Charles Oliveira (31-8 MMA, 19-8 UFC) and Dustin Poirier (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC), who meet Dec. 11 in the UFC 269 main event. “I feel good because I show my level – I don’t know how many minutes (it took),” Makhachev said at the UFC 267 post-fight news conference.
