As of this writing, UFC fighters aren’t allowed to crossover into Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing promotion, but Makhachev wants to become the first to buck the trend. Islam Makhachev targets eventual Zuffa Boxing fight after ‘good talks’ with Turki AlalshikhIn a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Makhachev revealed that his recent attendance at a Zuffa Boxing event prompted a surprising fight offer. “We had good talks about a boxing match, in Zuffa Boxing with Turki Alalshikh,” Makhachev said. Makhachev isn’t the only top UFC fighter to tease a potential move to the Zuffa Boxing arena. Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has also expressed interest in fighting in Zuffa Boxing, despite White’s reluctance to let him cross over.
