Sean Brady doesn’t want Islam Makhachev to move up to 170 pounds, but he can’t deny the lightweight champ his due.

While Makhachev has been eyeing a welterweight move for a while, his friend Belal Muhammad stood in the way as the champ. However, that changed last Saturday at UFC 315, as Jack Della Maddalena dethroned Muhammad via unanimous decision.
