Russian Islam Makhachev deserves the right to lead the ranking of the best fighters regardless of weight categories (P4P) UFC, but in the organization it is more profitable to see an American in this position Jon Jones . This review was shared with by league CEO Ural FC Radmir Gabdullin .
On Saturday, October 21, Makhachev knocked out Australian Alexander Volkanovski in the first round at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and defended the UFC lightweight championship belt. Earlier this week, the UFC rankings were updated: Makhachev overtook Volkanovski in P4P, moving up to second place. The leader is the UFC heavyweight champion, American Johnson, who will meet his compatriot Stipe Miocic on November 11.
“I had no doubt about Makhachev’s victory. He absolutely dominated in all areas; Islam left no chance to its adversary. It seemed that Makhachev had almost grown up since the last fight. Excellent work, congratulations to the entire Islam Makhachev team for this incredible result. As for the compilation of scores regardless of weight categories, this story is not always objective. In my opinion, Islam Makhachev deserves to be at the top of this ranking at this particular moment, but, apparently, it is simply more profitable for the organization to keep Jon Jones in this position,” Gabdullin told .
All UFC and Ural FC tournaments are broadcast live on the channel.
