Athletistic/MMA. Russian UFC fighter Victoria Dudakova assessed the prospects of her compatriot Islam Makhachev after his second victory over the former leader of the P4P ranking, Australian Alexander Volkanovski.
“Makhchaev wants to try something new, so as not to be compared to Khabib, because Nurmagomedov will always be bigger than him. How much Khabib did for the sport, how much the fight with Conor elevated him. Maybe the Islam wants to try yourself in the welterweight division.
I don’t know if Leon Edwards will want to fight Makhachev, but Islam will abandon him. Colby? He is also an older fighter. In a way it is a competitive fight, but I don’t know yet when it will take place. Covington fights once a year at best, and it is not a fact that in three or six months he will be able to fight Makhachev. It seems to me that this is unlikely. If you’re lucky, Colby fights once a year, if the moon and the sun align and he wants to fight himself,” Dudakova said as quoted by “Championship”.
Islam Makhachev scored his 25th MMA victory on October 21 in his second fight with Volkanovski. The 31-year-old Russian also has one defeat. Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from the sport undefeated. “Eagle” has 29 victories in mixed martial arts.
