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.
