President of the AMC Fight Nights promotional company Kamil Gadjiev told that the Russian fighter Islam Makhachev rightly criticized CFU for the fact that in the updated ranking of the best fighters regardless of weight categories (P4P) he ranks second after the American Jon Jones .
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 UFC heavyweight champion American Jones, who will meet compatriot Stipe Miocic on November 11.
— Makhachev criticized the UFC rankings for placing Jones in the top spot. Do you agree with Islam?
— I agree with Makhachev, Jones fights little and rarely. But it’s a small step forward on the UFC’s part, as Jones awaits a fight with Miocic, which will eliminate all questions. If Jones wins, many will agree he should be ranked number one. We just have to wait for this fight,” Gadzhiev told .
