Episode Details

Islam Makhachev, UFC’s grappling machine, is seriously considering stepping into the boxing ring — a wild twist for a fighter built on Sambo and wrestling. After checking out a Zuffa Boxing event in New York, he met with boxing legend Turki Alalshikh, who gave him an open invitation: “When you’re ready, just say the word.” Makhachev responded with enthusiasm, even suggesting Dana White could help make it happen. While he’s focused on his August title defense, the door is wide open for a future boxing showdown — and he’s not alone; Conor McGregor, Alex Pereira, and Khamzat Chimaev are also eyeing Zuffa Boxing. The next big event? A vacant middleweight title fight in Dublin this Saturday.
