“We have a lot in common. We started our sporting journey together. Now his role has changed, he is no longer around, but we still train together. Outside of training we communicate every days. We have different hobbies, but we keep in touch every day,” Makhachev noted in an interview with Match TV.
Recall that in his last fight, which took place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) during the UFC 294 tournament, Makhachev met with Australian Alexander Volkanovski. This fight was their revenge. Islam won the first round by landing a high kick, then finished off his opponent. Soon the referee stopped the fight.
