Russian Olympic boxing champion Albert Batyrgaziev congratulated his compatriot Islam Makhacheva with a victory over the Australian Alexander Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 294.
On Saturday, Makhachev knocked out Volkanovski in the first round in the main event of UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and defended his lightweight championship belt. In February, these fighters met in Australia, and then Makhachev won by unanimous decision. Initially, Makhachev’s opponent for the fight in the UAE was supposed to be Charles Oliveira, but the Brazilian withdrew from the fight 11 days in advance, and Volkanovski accepted the challenge on short notice.
“I told you, brother, three minutes haven’t passed, you missed it.” Just a giant. Congratulations! Congratulations to all of us on our common victory. What a tiger! “I told you, I saw everything in his eyes and in his movements,” Batyrgaziev said on .
Olympic taekwondo champion Radik Isaev and world freestyle wrestling champion Akhmed Usmanov also congratulated Makhachev on his victory.
– Islam, you have proven that you are a true champion. “My leg was fine, taekwondo is in business,” Isaev said.
– Islam, congratulations brother, from the bottom of my heart. All the best ! I think it’s time to become a two-time UFC champion,” Usmanov said.
