\nGarry<\/a> doesn\u2019t miss any opportunity to rally for a title shot
\nagainst Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a>. <\/p>\n
\nMorales<\/a>, for the next welterweight title shot against
\nMakhachev. However, a matchup between Makhachev and lightweight
\nchampion Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a> is arguably one of the most anticipated matchups in
\nmodern MMA history. A fight between Topuria and Makhachev was
\nrumoured to be the original plan for the
\nUFC White House<\/a> card in June. However, Topuria will now defend
\nhis title against interim champion Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> at the White House on June 14. <\/p>\n
\nwho pulled out. Makhachev recently denied Topuria\u2019s accusations,
\nclaiming to have accepted the fight. Makhachev instead accused
\nTopuria of demanding an unrealistic amount of money, and pulling
\nout when the
\nUFC<\/a> didn\u2019t meet his demand. When the rumors started floating
\nthat Makhachev vs. Topuria was the original plan for the White
\nHouse, Dana White denied them. White claimed that Makhachev had a
\nhand injury. <\/p>\nEager for a Shot<\/h2>\n
\nTopuria, White\u2019s claim about the Dagestani champion\u2019s hand injury
\nseems questionable. Garry took this opportunity to call for a title
\nshot against Makhachev in August.<\/p>\n
