Khabib commented on Makhachev's victory

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov reacted to his friend's victory Islam Makhachev over Bobby Green in the main event of UFC Fight Night 202.

The Russian scored a technical knockout in the first round.

“Everything happened exactly as we expected. After all, Islam said that the meeting would not last all five rounds - one or two. There are many reasons: a career before and already in the UFC itself, hunger, age, winning streak. All this came together. Makhachev is now at a different level and he needs someone close in class. Someone with the same winning streak is Charles Oliveira. If he beats Justin Gaethje, then the UFC will have a very big fight,” Nurmagomedov said in a commentary for the UFC.
