UFC President Dana White has yet to announce the next opponent for Russian fighter Islam Makhachev , as reported by Vesti.kz .
Previously, the league head mentioned he is preparing "something special."
"As soon as we make the announcement, you will know," White said after the tournament in Saudi Arabia.
Islam Makhachev's last opponent was Brazilian Renato Moicano. The Russian defeated the South American by submission in the first round at UFC 3011 in Los Angeles.
Islam Makhachev has participated in 28 MMA fights and has secured 27 victories. It is worth noting that earlier reports suggested a possible move for Makhachev to the welterweight division, where Kazakh fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov is vying for the championship belt.
