Makhachev commented on Khabib missing the Champions League final

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has spoken out about the fact that his friend Khabib Nurmagomedov will miss the Champions League final because of his fight with Dustin Puryear.

"Well, maybe I'll watch, because all the guys here love soccer, for sure they will watch. And I like soccer too, especially big matches like this. Khabib once said at the training camp: "Because of your fight I won't get to the Champions League". He was planning to go there, to the final. And I said to him: "The Champions League happens every year, but the fight between Makhachev and Porier - once in a lifetime".

Recall, the fight Makhachev Porye will take place on the night of June 2 in Newark and will headline UFC 302.
