Islam Makhachev ’s reign of terror over lightweight continue Saturday when he retained gold over replacement opponent Renato Moicano at UFC 311 . After Arman Tsarukyan fell out of the main event rematch with injury on one days’ notice, Makhachev (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) got the job done against Moicano (20-6-1 MMA, 12-6 UFC) courtesy of a first-round submission triumph in the headlining fight at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Now Makhachev has a record four title defenses during his run as 155-pound champ, and opens up questions about what comes next. Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Makhachev beating Moicano at UFC 311.
