Esos que decían que Ruffy le daría KO a Arman, ahora son los mismos que dicen que Prates le dará KO a Islam.
Islam Makhachev es un tipo de campo, disciplinado, que vive y respira MMA desde que nació.
Siguen cuestionando la mandíbula de Islam por aquel KO de Martins hace más de 10 años.
Prates también ha sido noqueado y sometido. Ah y también perdió contra el rival al que Islam le acaba de ganar en el UFC 330.
¡Por favor, un poco más de respeto para el campeón! 👑✍️

🚨 Islam Makhachev vs Carlos Prates is being discussed as a potential matchup for UFC 336 on January 30 in Toronto, per @KOlmeneroMMA 👀

Islam Makhachev deserves to be called “THE ONE AND ONLY” more than anyone.
• One of only 10 male UFC double champions
• 17-fight win streak — the longest in UFC history
• 4 lightweight title defenses — a division record
• One of only 4 male double champions to defend titles in both divisions
• 13 submission wins
• 29-1 professional record
Bruce Buffer named Conor McGregor, Jon Jones and Alex Pereira. How can Islam be left out?

11 years undefeated at the top of the sport. 🏔️💀
Islam Makhachev hasn't tasted defeat since October 2015, putting him miles ahead of every other reigning champion in the UFC.

Many people think fighters from the Caucasus are "dumb" because they come from the mountains, but that's far from the truth. Almost every one of them has a university degree.
Movsar Evloev has two degrees: one in Computer Science and another in Law. He's also undefeated and is fighting for the title next.

🗣️🇷🇺 Khamzat Chimaev speaks about Khabib 🫂
"With Khabib, we looked up to him, when we were younger and we still look up to him, because he is one of the best fighters of all time. People think I hate him, but I love him. He's my muslim brother. He comes from some poor village, just like me. Dagestan and Chechnya is the same, we are brothers. Alhamdulillah." ❤️🫂

Undeniable 🐐
Last Loss in 2015 (2nd Fight in UFC)
*Since then:
29-1 Record,
Submit Oliveira for LW Belt in R2
4 LW Defenses
Beats JDM to win WW Belt via UD
Double Champ Status
1 WW Defense against #1 Contender Garry
17-Fight Win-streak (broke Silvas record)
11 YEARS.
That’s how long Islam Makhachev has gone since his last defeat.
But he isn’t the only UFC champion currently carrying a serious unbeaten run.
Carlos Ulberg and Ciryl Gane: 5 YEARS, 7 MONTHS
Petr Yan: 3 YEARS, 6 MONTHS
Alexander Volkanovski: 2 YEARS, 7 MONTHS
Justin Gaethje: 2 YEARS, 5 MONTHS
Joshua Van: 2 YEARS, 2 MONTHS
Sean Strickland: 1 YEAR, 8 MONTHS
Eight champions. Eight different timelines.
Which champion’s unbeaten run ends first? 👀

Justin Gaethje explains why he’s a “huge fan” of Islam Makhachev, despite preferring a different style of MMA 🔥
“Obviously, I like winners, so I’m a huge fan of Islam Makhachev. Do I personally prefer something different when I watch MMA? Yes. But I absolutely respect why he’s at the top.
“These guys practice sambo and learn submissions from such a young age. On top of that, they’re Muslims, they’ve never drunk alcohol or smoked. Their discipline is second to none. Islam deserves every accolade and accomplishment he has earned.”

Islam Makhachev
29-1
Lost his 2nd UFC fight due to KO, but it’s been up from there.
17-fight win streak. (UFC Record)
Won the LW Title against a 11-fight win streak Charles Oliveira via Submission
Defended the LW Title x4; 12-fight win stream Volk x2 (Was #1 P4P), Poirier, and Moicano (Replacement for Arman)
Vacates LW Title and moves up to face the 7-fight win streak fighter JDM for the Welterweight title winning via Unanimous Decision and becoming Double Champion
Defeats Ian Garry who is the #1 Contender via Unanimous Decision to defend the belt.
Yet, we have doubters. When will they confess that this is greatness?
You have leprechauns who quit on stools saying that they can come up to 170lbs at Welterweight and defeat us. Yet they cannot even handle their own weight class like Islam has.
Very sad.
Stay Humble.

Arman Tsarukyan explains why he wasn’t worried when his takedowns weren’t landing against Mauricio Ruffy:
“From the clinch, everybody is waiting for my wrestling and they forget about their face. That’s why the game plan was to show the wrestling, make them focus on the wrestling, and in that moment you throw the elbow.
I had like 1,000 sparrings where I was throwing the elbow. I was practicing it all training camp.
I wasn’t nervous that I couldn’t take him down because I had different plans. That’s why I was calm.”

Ali Abdelaziz believes Ilia Topuria made the glove accusations during Arman Tsarukyan’s fight week to take attention away from Arman vs. Ruffy.
“If Ilia wants to say that Justin had rocks in his hands, that’s a compliment to Justin and how hard he punches. The Las Vegas Commission was there, the D.C. Commission was there - three commissions watched him fight with those gloves. Ilia said that during Arman’s fight week to take away from the hype around Arman and Ruffy.”
