Makhachev answered a question about retiring from his career

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev I am sure that he is in the prime of his strength, and therefore does not yet see his retirement from the sport on the horizon.

“Yesterday I took tests, looked at my general physical condition and endurance. From year to year the indicators are only growing. This time I did much better than even my coach expected. So I’m not standing still, I’m not going back, the numbers are only growing, and I’m not yet thinking about retiring from my career,” Makhachev said in an interview with the UFC.

Let us remind you that on October 21, in the main event of the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Makhachev will defend his belt in a rematch with Charles Oliveira. The first meeting of these fighters took place a year earlier in the same place and ended in an early victory for the Dagestani.
