"Islam is always compared to Habib and Habib 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.
