Mixed martial arts have shifted to an era where Dagestani warriors have completely dominated the arena. The takeover began with Khabib Nurmagomedov, followed by his prodigy, Islam Makhachev, carrying the light forward. However, they are not the only ones conquering the cages. Recently, Brett Okamoto revealed that there is a high probability of another Dagestani fighter entering the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Without a doubt, the UFC world burst into chaos as fear of the Russians taking over the sport stumbled across their thoughts.

With the rise of the Dagestani warriors, the entire UFC has gone wild. Doubtlessly, the Dagestani fighters have much superior grappling skills. However, their striking game is actually not on par with the rest. Nonetheless, one can’t deny the fighters not being formidable opponents.

Dana White handed over the Dagestani belt

The UFC president, Dana White, has a tradition of tying the belt for the champions. However, when Makhachev defeated Charles Oliveira and became the lightweight champion, it was the predecessor of the belt who handed it over. Later, Nurmagomedov admitted that he went to White and asked him for permission to hand over the belt to his prodigy.

Surprisingly, the UFC boss agreed to the request. He said, “No problem. This is yours. This is Dagestani belt.” Undeniably, it became a fact that it was the Dagestani warriors who have taken over the sport.
