Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Shlemenko He doubted the competence of the people who evaluate the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Russian Islam Makhachev, after defending the UFC lightweight title in a duel with Australian Alexander Volkanovski, rose to second place in the rankings, regardless of weight categories. Topping the list is UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
— It’s hard to say whether Makhachev should take to heart the fact that he hasn’t managed to beat Jones yet. Islam must understand clearly: this will not affect anything in any way and again it is not clear who sits and distributes the athletes. Who are these people? Did they play sports themselves? On the one hand, the American has more title defenses, but on the other hand, each weight has completely different fighters.
If you had asked me who would win if they met in the cage, I would have given a clear answer. And measuring the level of greatness is difficult. But I think if the Russian wins the welterweight title, he will be promoted to the top. However, few people in the history of the organization have managed to unite the belts, ”Shlemenko quotes RT.
Makhachev has 25 wins with one loss during his MMA career.
