In the main event of UFC 311, Islam Makhachev did what Islam Makhachev was expected to do i.e., take Renato Moicano down with ease and secure a first-round submission.
It was another phenomenal performance by the dominant Dagestani, with Joe Rogan already making a case for Makhachev being greater than Khabib Nurmagomedov – he’s simply just that good.
But what comes next for Islam Makhachev?
Well, if his final jab of the night was anything to go by, it sounds as if the UFC lightweight title picture will move on from his original opponent; and pretty quickly at that.
