UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev tells how his mother reacts to fights.
On February 12, Makhachev defeated Australian Alexander Volkanovski by unanimous decision and defended the UFC lightweight belt. The fight took place at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia.
She doesn’t watch my fights. And not just mine, she doesn’t look at them at all. I can’t watch when people are hitting each other.
When I came home after the fight with Alex Volkanovski, she was constantly telling me, “That’s it, you’ve become a champion, maybe that’s enough? Here Khabib obeyed his mother, when will you obey your mother?
I tell him there’s a little left. Khabib defended the title, and I have to defend it. Difficult topic for mom. And my father, on the contrary, watches all my fights, ”Makhachev said on the air of the Red Corner MMA YouTube channel.
Live broadcasts of all UFC tournaments can be seen on the federal channel and thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
