UFC bantamweight champion American Sean O’Malley called Islam Makhachev the fighter who impresses him the most, and also recalled a terrible dream associated with the Russian.
— I would say Islam. He’s fucking scary. I had a nightmare that I had to fight him. I woke up and thought, “Thank God it wasn’t real, because I’m going to knock him out.” No, actually, I just thought, “Oh my gosh…” He’s such a well-rounded fighter, he’s damn skilled, he’s on another level,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel.
In 2023, 32-year-old Makhachev made two successful title defenses in fights with Australian Alexander Volkanovski, and also rose to first place in the ranking of the best UFC fighters, regardless of weight category. In total, the Russian won 25 victories and suffered one defeat in mixed martial arts.
