Video: Is now perfect timing for Islam Makhachev to leave UFC lightweight division?

Islam Makhachev UFC

How’s this for an “overreaction”? Now is the PERFECT time for Islam Makhachev to leave the UFC lightweight division.

Makhachev became the UFC record holder for lightweight title defenses this past weekend at UFC 311 after he submitted Renato Moicano in the first round. It was an unexpected last-minute matchup after original opponent Arman Tsarukyan withdrew on weigh-ins day because of a back injury.

After UFC 311, Makhachev said his career won’t be done until he claims a second division title. And since nothing but rematches await him at lightweight, would now be the right time to leave?

MMA Junkie’s Simon Samano and Farah Hannoun debate that topic on the latest edition of “Overreaction Time.”

Check out their discussion in the video above, and watch the complete episode of “Overreaction Time” below on YouTube.
