The renowned UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his opinion on the prospects of Islam Makhachev. On October 30, Makhachev will fight Dan Hooker at UFC 267.
“Makhachev is a tough fighter, one of the best in the world. Right now, he is in the top 10 of the UFC rankings, regardless of weight class. But Islam is too silent, he does not like to talk a lot. Daniel Cormier and I are trying to push him in this regard. After the fight with Hooker, he needs to call the champion. At the beginning of next year, Makhachev should fight the winner of the duel between Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira, ” Nurmagomedov said in Daniel Cormier’s podcast.
