Demetrious Johnson on Islam Makhachev
“You know what, I wrote that I think Islam is destined for this. He should fight Ilia Topuria at the White House. If he beats Topuria, he retires.Islam has plenty of money, right? Go out on your shield like Khabib did. A lot of people in MMA don't want to see that, but in mixed martial arts, we athletes stay too long at the party. There's no reason for an athlete to keep taking hits to the head and all that stuff. If I was him, fight Topuria at the White House. You beat Topuria, walk away”
