Grebnev did not rule out that Makhachev would repeat Nurmagomedov’s achievement in the number of UFC title defenses
AMC Fight Nights fighter Alexander Grebnev believes that Islam Makhachev will perform in MMA longer than Khabib Nurmagomedov.
– In my opinion, Islam will perform longer than Khabib. I do not exclude that Makhachev will repeat Nurmagomedov’s achievement in the number of belt defenses, and then he will rise to welterweight. True, after that it will not be easy to return. On the other hand, we have the example of Max Holloway. The Hawaiian did not pull in the category up to 70.3 kg, after which he returned to his native featherweight division, RT quotes Grebnev.
On October 22, Makhachev defeated the Brazilian Charles Oliveira by choke in the title fight at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
