Ismailov’s coach named the best Russian MMA fighter of 2022
Islam Makhachev became the best foreign Russian mixed martial artist in 2022, according to Magomed Ismailov’s brother and coach Ramazan Ismailov.
– Islam Makhachev is the best fighter outside of Russia. There is confirmation of this. He took the title. He acts in the most powerful organization in the world. This defines him as the best fighter. In Russia, Magomedrasul Gasanov was the best. He plays in the most competitive league in Russia. He had tough opponents. I’m coming out of this. The most spectacular is Sharabutdin Magomedov, the most media one is Magomed Ismailov,” Ramazan Ismailov told Metaratings.ru.
Makhachev, 31, defeated Bobby Green and Charles Oliveira in 2022 to win the UFC lightweight title. In MMA, the Russian won 23 victories with one defeat.
