Ali Abdelaziz has always been a strong advocate of the current lightweight champion’s ability to fight. He once claimed that Makhachev is the better and improved version of the UFC legend, Khabib Nurmagomedov, in an interview with TMZ. He also recently rooted for the 31-year-old Dagestani fighter to win against Volkanovski, claiming that he had a huge power advantage on his side. However, the match turned out to be a close fight.
Islam Makhachev is now on a 12-fight winning streak. It is currently the longest active undefeated streak in the UFC. There have been no official announcements regarding his next fight. The new P4P king will most likely take some time away after the toughest fight in his UFC career.
