Alexandr Ormanji Aug. 28, 2025, 4:54 a.m.

Ali Abdel-Aziz, the manager of Islam Makhachev, spoke about the possible fight of his charge with Khamzat Chimaev.

“This fight will never happen. Khamzat is too big, and I don’t think he will ever be able to cut down to welterweight again. Islam and Khamzat know each other; they are from the same region, so honestly, this fight makes absolutely no sense.”
