Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his thoughts on his friend and current titleholder Islam Makhachev's victory over Dustin Porier at UFC 302 in Newark, United States.
"Islam has grown a lot today. It's hard to understand. When you go into the late rounds and get deep - it shows you understand your body. You find out how deep you can go in yourself. Not everyone knows this, that there is always room there.
People often underestimate themselves. And fighters need to be able to find resources deep within themselves. You need to stay calm and find strength within yourself. Today these guys got very deep," - said Khabib in an interview with the UFC.
