– Congratulations on the confident victory of one of the best mixed martial arts fighters Islam Makhachev!
In the last UFC 284 tournament of the main event of the evening, the Russian fighter met the Australian Alexander Volkanovski. Following the results of five spectacular rounds, by unanimous decision of the judges, Islam earned an unconditional victory, thus defending the lightweight championship belt for the first time in his career.
I know Islam personally. With firm confidence, I can say that he is a very well-bred person with a high moral orientation. If for someone sport today is a place where you can insult anything and anyone, then for Islam it is a place where you can demonstrate your best qualities. He is a very reserved and noble person with whom it is very interesting to communicate. That’s what a real athlete should be.
I have a warm and brotherly relationship with all the fighters, so I sincerely rejoice in each of their successes and achievements. Of course, it was a spectacular and exciting duel, the victory of which was fully deserved.
Once again, I congratulate all our compatriots and Islam, including for a well-deserved victory! I sincerely wish him health, prosperity and good luck! I am sure he will continue to delight us with his sporting successes. Brother, you are the best,” Kadyrov wrote on social media.
Makhachev in mixed martial arts had 24 wins and one loss. He took first place in the ranking of fighters, regardless of weight class (pound for pound).
