Former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko commented on Islam Makhachev's win over Dan Hooker.

"Islam has great potential, and I don't understand why he's not given a title fight at all. Although, I can see that after Khabib left, they started to move him - they give him fights, gave him number six. They should give him at least a top 3 contender for his next fight, in my opinion."

The fight of Makhachev and Hooker took place on October 30 at UFC 267, ending with Islam's victory by submission.
