Matt Brown says that Islam Makhachev Ilia Topuria should avoid

Islam Makhachev could have a huge challenge, with Ilia Topuria chasing him for a shot to become a two-weight king.

However, Matt Brown does not believe that the Dagestani would be the honor of beating the Spanish-georgian, because he has already overcome a former featherweight title holder in the form of Alexander Volkanovski.

In an interview with MMA fights, he said: “If I am Islam Makhachev, I will not take that fight. I totally agree with what he said: “I don't have to fight against another inflated 145-ponder.” He has already done that. “

Brown then threw an interesting match-up for Topuria and exclaimed: “Let him fight there and earn his way to the title. Who does he fight? Charles Oliveira – F – Yes. “

Many agree with Brown's thoughts, including 'The American Gangster'. Chael Sonnen believes that Topuria Oliveira or Arman Tsarukyan should accept before he goes with Makhacheve in a blockbuster confrontation.

Later in the interview, Brown expressed the fear that Topuria might not have the size to compete with lightweight.

The American feared: “My first thought when I heard it was:” He is quite small for 155 pounds. He was not big before 145 pounds; I was surprised that he said he has a hard time making that weight. '

However, not everyone agrees with his opinion.

After he had heard some stories from Wilde Gym, a UFC star was convinced that Topuria could compete with Makhachev.
