UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano – An Exciting Clash at the Intuit Dome
UFC 311 promises to be a thrilling event, with the defending lightweight champion Islam Makhachev facing Renato Moicano in what is shaping up to be a highly anticipated showdown at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This event marks Makhachev's first defense of the lightweight title, and the stakes couldn't be higher as he faces a formidable opponent in Moicano, who is stepping in on short notice after original challenger Arman Tsarukyan withdrew due to injury.
Makhachev has been a dominant force in the UFC, winning an impressive 14 consecutive fights and continuing to prove why he is considered one of the best in the lightweight division. Since his submission victory over Charles Oliveira in 2022 to claim the lightweight title, Makhachev has shown his all-around skill set, from his striking to his exceptional grappling. The Russian champion hasn’t tasted defeat in nearly a decade, his last loss coming in 2015 against Adriano Martins. Now, Makhachev looks to extend his dominance and defend his title for the first time against Moicano, who has been on a winning streak of his own, securing four straight victories, including a TKO win over Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Fight Night in September 2024.
