Athletistic / Boxing / MMA UFC President Dana White spoke about Islam Makhachev’s victory over Charles Oliveira in the main event of the night at UFC 280.

Recall that the Russian fighter achieved victory in the second round, successfully applying a choke hold.

“When I stood up in the octagon (after the fight was over), Khabib was like, ‘I told you. He said that Islam is number one in the world.”

I’m talking about defeating Oliveira is one thing, but doing it like Makhachev did is another. And he did it so fast.

Today Islam was just amazing. The main question was whether he could handle this colossal pressure, and he succeeded 100%,” White said at a press conference.
