UFC 311 post-fight show: Reaction to Islam Makhachev, Merab Dvalishvili title win

Islam Makhachev delivered against shortstop opponent Renato Moicano in the main event of UFC 311 on Saturday night at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. So much so that Dana White finally had to admit that the lightweight champion is the #1 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.

Following the UFC’s first pay-per-view event in 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 155 years after his retirement. In addition, they discuss Merab Dvalishvili’s successful title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov in the bantamweight championship co-main event, where Nurmagomedov is coming off his first career loss, the incredible fight between Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill, with both fighters’ stocks rising after the fight between the former light heavyweight champs and more.
