“Makhachev will be able to surpass Khabib’s achievements if he becomes a champion in two weight classes” – Gadzhiyasulov
Current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev will be able to surpass the achievements of Khabib Nurmagomedov if he becomes a champion in two weight classes, according to undefeated Russian light heavyweight fighter Magomed Gadzhiyasulov.
— It seems to me that Islam will be able to surpass Khabib’s achievements if he becomes a champion in two weight classes. I think that this is all Khabib lacked — to take the 77 kg belt. In my opinion, so. If Islam wins the welterweight title, he will surpass Khabib, — Gadzhiyasulov told “Championship”.
32-year-old Makhachev has 26 wins and one loss in mixed martial arts.
Nurmagomedov has won 29 of 29 fights in his MMA career. The Russian announced his retirement from the sport in 2020.
