Islam Makhachev delivered against short-notice opponent Renato Moicano in the main event of UFC 311 on Saturday night at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. So much so, Dana White finally had to admit that the lightweight champion is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
Following the UFC’s first pay-per-view event of 2025, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Makhachev’s quick win, what could be next, and how Arman Tsarukyan could fit into things at 155 after his withdrawal. Additionally, they discuss Merab Dvalishvili’s successful title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov in the bantamweight championship co-main event, where Nurmagomedov goes from his first career loss, the incredible battle between Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill, both fighters’ stocks rising after the fight between former light heavyweight champs, and much more.
