UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev thinks there’s work to be done before he considers chasing a second belt. Makhachev (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) makes his first title defense against featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski (25-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) in the UFC 284 main event Feb. 11 at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. During a UFC 286 pre-fight press conference , welterweight champion Leon Edwards was asked about a past sparring session with Makhachev at American Kickboxing Academy, and “Rocky” said he thinks him vs. Makhachev would be a good fight in the future. But Makhachev says he has business to attend to before considering a move up to 170 pounds
