Makhachev defended his UFC lightweight title by knocking out Alex Volkanovski on October 21 in Abu Dhabi. Pavlovich failed to win the interim championship belt in the under 120 kg category, losing by knockout to Briton Tom Aspinall at UFC 295 in New York on November 11.

— I was worried about Seryoga, but that’s how it happened. Heavy weights. I’m sure Seryoga will come back stronger, he’s still a young guy for this weight. He has everything in front of him.
Islam – I congratulate him, well done, probably, if you look at him, maybe it is neither good nor bad to compare, but now if he does not surpass Khabib, then he is definitely not worse than him and is no less a star. Guys from the same gym, students from the same coach, this is a cool indicator for the whole world. The guys are raising the Russian flag,” reports the correspondent, according to Mineev’s words.
Khabib Nurmagomedov finished his professional career in 2020. He remained undefeated in the Octagon, where he had 29 victories in 29 fights.
