Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Khabib Nurmagomedov turned to Islam Makhachev. His words are available on the page in Instagram.
Nurmagomedov congratulated Makhachev on his victory over Bobby Green at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament in Las Vegas. “You have done a great job, deservedly occupy the position of the first contender for the belt and are, in my opinion, the best lightweight in the world,” wrote the former champion of the promotion.
Nurmagomedov noted the efficiency, discipline, diligence and Makhachev’s regime and said that they would soon bear fruit. He also called on the compatriot to return the belt home.
Earlier, Nurmagomedov revealed UFC plans for the future of Makhachev. He noted that the UFC intends to organize a duel between Makhachev and the winner of the confrontation between the reigning lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and American Justin Gaethje. Thus, the head of the promotion, Dana White, made it clear that he was considering Makhachev as a contender for the belt.
Makhachev extended the series of victories in the organization to ten fights. Initially, Beneil Dariush was supposed to be his opponent. However, the American was injured and was forced to withdraw from the fight.
