Islam Makhachev reacts to comparison with Khabib Nurmagomedov

Islam Makhachev will return this weekend to face Thiago Moises on UFC Vegas 31. Many people are looking forward to the Russians’ victory again.

During the preparation phase of the game, Islam Mahachev was asked to answer many questions about His relationship With Habib.In a recent interview, he said his thoughts About comparison Between himself and the “Eagle”.

In answering whether he was annoyed by the comparison with Khabib, Makhachev said:

Since then, we have heard a lot of discussions about the possibility that the future star from Russia may become the “next Habib”.

How good can Islam Mahachev be?

For some time, we all know that Islam Makhachev may become the next big thing, and in the game against Moises, he is expected to prove this to a large extent.

So, instead of continuing with Nurmagomedov’s comparison, maybe it’s time for him to go out and stand on his two feet?

In any case, he is fully capable of doing this, but in the context of the lightweight sector, there is almost no room for error. He is talking about the possibility of competing for a 155-pound belt next year, and the current header image looks very crowded, it will be interesting to see if this will happen.

Islam Makhachev (Islam Makhachev) began to put all the parts of his game together; we saw this in his most recent game against Drew Duber. If he can maintain the same intensity against Moises, fans on Saturday night may see something special.
