Islam Makhachev addressed the recent back-and-forth with Ian Garry and made it clear that he isn't turning down any fights. 😤
According to Islam, fans often hear claims online and immediately assume a fighter has rejected an opponent, even when no official offer has been made.
"People say, 'Accept the fight,' but there's no contract. How can I accept something that hasn't been sent to me?" Islam said.
Islam also dismissed concerns about his health, revealing that while he has an old injury, it isn't preventing him from competing.
"I'll do the surgery after I retire, but right now it doesn't stop me from accepting any fight."
