Islam
\nMakhachev<\/a> accepted Jordan Burroughs\u2019 recent callout, but with a
\ncondition.<\/p>\n

Burroughs took on Magomed Kurbanaliev in a wrestling match at RAF
\nMoscow. Burroughs took less than 90 seconds to defeat Kurbanaliev
\nvia a 10-0 tech fall and subsequently called for a wrestling
\nmatchup against Makhachev in Russia.<\/p>\n

Jordan Burroughs challenged Islam Makhachev after dominant win
\nin Russia<\/h2>\n

The Olympic gold medalist called out the reigning
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> welterweight champ in his
\npost-fight interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cIslam, where are you? Hey, I came to your country, to your capital
\ncity, and tech-fall\u2019d one of your champions. I will be back to
\nRussia very soon and the only person I want to share the stage with
\nis Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makhachev congratulated Burroughs on the win while calling him a
\nlegend. The Dagestani accepted a matchup against Burroughs, but
\ninside the cage, probably referring to an MMA bout.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongrats on your win legend,\u201d Makhachev wrote. \u201cIn the cage,
\nanywhere anytime.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many active UFC fighters, including Khamzat
\nChimaev<\/a>, Arman
\nTsarukyan<\/a> and Sean Brady<\/a>,
\nhave competed in RAF, Makhachev hasn\u2019t taken on any wrestling or
\nsubmission grappling matches during his UFC run.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

Congrats on your win legend. In the cage,
\nanywhere anytime \ud83d\ude09 https:\/\/t.co\/OpnalJTExX<\/a><\/p>\n
