One of the trainers of the reigning UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev Javier Mendez noted the comprehensive skill development in his service. According to the specialist, Makhachev is close to leading the overall rating of the promotion.
Will Volkanovski be Makhachev’s toughest opponent? I do not know. I don’t know if he is the strongest.
Also remember that many people now realize that Islam can do a lot. Alright, what brought Charles Oliveira to the ground in their fight? These were not Islamic takedowns. He was overthrown by the coup of Islam. So the secret is out, and it should have been a long time ago. Islam can do anything. If he can’t knock you down, know that you’ll have to deal with his stance as well. I’ve said many times that he’s the most balanced lightweight ever. I expect that on February 11 he will become number one in the rankings without reference to the weight class, — quotes the words of Mendes bloody elbow .
The duel between Alexander Volkanovski and Makhachev will headline the UFC 284 tournament, scheduled for February 12 in Perth, Australia.
On October 22, Makhachev defeated Oliveira by choke at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi and won the organization’s title.
