Makhachev's opinion: Ferguson should not have a black belt in BJJ

Alexandr Ormanji Aug. 12, 2024, 11:25 a.m.

Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, has spoken out about Tony Ferguson having a black belt in BJJ.

"Tony shouldn't have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Yes, indeed, he is good at some techniques and has shown that on many fighters. However, he's not at the black belt level. I've had to work with a lot of guys who are real black belts and they are real tough. A lot of fighters get black belts as a gift, undeservedly," Islam said in an interview on Hosheh MMA's YouTube channel.
