Former Bellator and ONE champion Ben Askren I am sure that the UFC lightweight title holder Islam Makhachev will certainly remember the bitterness of defeat if he does not end his career on time.
“Time cannot be defeated. So sooner or later Islam will lose. But what if he does like Khabib and doesn’t stay in MMA? He's only 32 years old and hasn't even reached his peak yet. It will be interesting to see if he finishes his career before his defeat. Because if he doesn’t do it in time, then sooner or later he will lose,” Middle Easy quotes Askren.
Let us remember that Makhachev previously noted that he plans to hang up his gloves in about two years.
