Former UFC champion in two weight categories, and now a commentator and expert Daniel Cormier believes that the title holder in the lightweight division Islam Makhachev should be on the first line of the promotion's best fighters, regardless of category.
Let us remind you that on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament, Makhachev knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in the first round.
“Hats off to Islam. He came out with a plan for the fight and executed it brilliantly. It was a few punches to the body, and then a high kick.
Islam still has a lot of work to do to become the greatest fighter of all time, but what cannot be denied is that he is the number one fighter in the world at the moment. Why? Because he defeated the best fighter, and did it very impressively,” Cormier said in a release on his YouTube channel.
