In 2023, 32-year-old Makhachev made two successful defenses of his title in fights with Australian Alexander Volkanovski, and also rose to first place in the ranking of the best UFC fighters, regardless of category weight.
— The most important thing is desire. He easily defended his belt in a fight against a very serious opponent.
— Isn’t the transition dangerous?
“He easily defeated very strong opponents. So, I repeat, it’s just a matter of desire and preparation,” Pavlovich said on .
Makhachev’s professional record is 25 wins and losses. He is also a double Russian champion (2014, 2016) and winner of the combat sambo world championship (2016).
