UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Moisés Preview and Predictions July 13, 2021 After a blockbuster pay-per-view just down the road at the T-Mobile Arena, it’s back to the UFC Apex this weekend for UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Moisés. The headliners are a pair of highly touted lightweight prospects turned contenders. The familial bond between retired former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev is well noted, but it is largely Makhachev’s talent that led to Nurmagomedov anointing him as the apparent heir to his throne atop the division. Makhachev has impressed on his way into the UFC lightweight top 10, where he currently sits at ninth.
