Russian Islam Makhachev is the strongest lightweight in the UFC. This opinion was expressed by a Kazakh ASA fighter in a conversation with Artem Reznikov .
– Who can now be called the strongest lightweight in the UFC?
– I am thinking of Islam Makhachev. In my opinion, he should beat Oliveira. In principle, the two strongest fighters should meet in the near future, and it will be a very interesting duel. And this fight will take place on the ground. I doubt Oliveira can finish it from the bottom, and whoever is on top wins the round.
Because of Makhachev, 30 years old, 22 wins and one loss. The Russian has been playing in the UFC since May 2015, during which time he spent 12 fights and is now on a ten-fight winning streak. In the UFC rankings, Makhachev is on the fourth line. The championship belt was vacated after Oliveira failed to make it to the pre-fight weight class with Justin Gaethje but eventually picked up a victory over the American. At the same time, the Brazilian is number one in the rankings.
