Islam Makhachev competed against Thiago Moises in his first main event at UFC on ESPN 26, and dominated his opponent. After securing the victory by fourth-round submission, he says he’s ready for big names in the lightweight division, including the likes of Tony Ferguson.

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, Danny Segura, Brian “Goze” Garcia, and host John Morgan discuss what should be next for Makhachev as he has his eyes set on lightweight gold
