UFC lightweight champion of Russia Islam Makhachev called a compatriot Khabib Nurmagomedova the best fighter in this weight category in history.
Nurmagomedov retired as a fighter in 2020, having scored 29 victories in 29 fights.
– Who is better: me or Khabib? Khabib is the best lightweight fighter in history. He crushed all his opponents, he had no split decisions or close fights. He just “killed” everyone in the octagon, you know? This is why he is the best lightweight fighter in history. But not only because of the fights, he is also a big personality outside the octagon,” Makhachev said in an interview with TSN.
Makhachev will defend his UFC lightweight title against Australian Alexander Volkanovski on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi. Watch the live stream on and Match! Fighter”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
