Makhachev reacted to allegations of doping

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 9, 2023, 5 p.m.

UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev commented on allegations of illegal drug use by his former rival Bobby Green.

Earlier, the American expressed confidence that the Russian is doping because he is too strong for a pure fighter.

“I'm not like Bobby Green. I don't drink and I don't do bad things. I train hard. That's why I am so strong.

All the fighters say that they will be able to defend against my fight, that they will rise to their feet if I transfer them to the ground. However, when the fight starts, when I bring them to the ground, they all feel my strength and knock. This is not because I am so good, but because I have been training all my life, ”Makhachev said at a press conference.
