Islam Makhachev weighed 178 pounds the night of his UFC 311 victory Saturday — one day after registering at 154.5 pounds — when he submitted Renato Moicano in the first round, according to data obtained by The Post from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC).

Islam Makhachev's coach Javier Mendez says the undisputed UFC lightweight champion has the ability to win UFC titles at both welterweight and middleweight.

Islam Makhachev's coach, Javier Mendez, is backing his fighter to become a three-weight UFC champion. However, if Makhachev is to achieve this feat, he must navigate a certain path according to Mendez.

Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev submitted 10th-ranked Renato Moicano at 4:05 of the first round Saturday night at UFC 311 for his 15th straight victory.

Renato Moicano was heartbroken after UFC 311. Moicano (20-6-1 MMA, 12-6 UFC) was quickly submitted by UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in Saturday’s main event. He stepped in on 24 hour’ notice to replace Arman Tsarukyan after initially being scheduled to face Beneil Dariush on the same event.

Arman Tsarukyan has received words of support from UFC champion Islam Makhachev's coach Javier Mendez following his withdrawal from UFC 311.

If the UFC are looking to book the biggest possible matchup for Islam Makhachev, a move up in weight could potentially deliver a huge title fight later in 2025.
