Last week, Dana White revealed that meetings to form the
\nUFC<\/a> White House card have already begun.<\/p>\n

That statement piqued the curiosity of fans and journalists,
\nstarting a series of debates about possible big names that will
\nheadline the event. Very close to Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a>, Spanish journalist Alvaro Colmenero confirmed the
\nlightweight’s presence on the card, possibly headlining against
\nJustin
\nGaethje<\/a>. Colmenero also
\nindicated<\/a> that Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> would defend the welterweight title at a later date,
\nprobably facing Ian
\nGarry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Clear Path to Victory<\/h2>\n

Although he did not confirm the information, Makhachev\u2019s coach,
\nJavier Mendez, did not refuse to analyze the possible confrontation
\nbetween his athlete and the Irishman. In the
\nAmerican Kickboxing Academy<\/a> coach’s assessment, Garry is likely
\nto struggle if the fight hits the canvas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIan does well with Islam on his feet, he has reach and is
\nunpredictable,\u201d Mendez told Submission Radio<\/a>. \u201cOn the ground, he does well, but
\ndoesn\u2019t survive. His takedown defense is reasonable, but not enough
\nto stop Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> from finishing him.\u201d<\/p>\n
