Islam Makhachev reveals how many fights he has left before retirement

Islam Makhachev said he expects at least three more bouts before retiring, clarifying his timeline after setting the UFC's longest win streak. At UFC 330, the welterweight champion defeated Ian Garry to extend his run to 17 straight and surpass Anderson Silva's record. The UFC double champ aims to reach 20 consecutive wins but acknowledges Jon Jones' mark for most title fight wins remains distant. Speaking at a press conference in Russia, he said he fought for a title later in his UFC tenure and expects a grueling path through a crowded welterweight field. He plans to stay active, targeting Carlos Prates for his next defense before next Ramadan.
