Alexandr Ormanji June 1, 2024, 12:52 p.m.

Ali Abdel-Aziz, a well-known manager in the world of mixed martial arts, has spoken out about the legacy of his client, UFC lightweight world champion Islam Makhachev.

"Islam is always compared to Khabib, and Khabib is always compared to Islam. But people don't understand. Khabib's father saw it this way: Khabib becomes champion and Islam takes the belt after him. Makhachev is only part of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's plan. After Islam, Umar Nurmagomedov will become the champion, after Umar - Usman Nurmagomedov. And so on," Abdel-Aziz said in an interview with TMZ Sports.

Recall, on June 2, Makhachev will fight Dustin Porier in the main event of UFC 302.
