Khabib praises Makhachev after UFC 330 victory

Khabib Nurmagomedov praised Islam Makhachev after his record-breaking win over Ian Machado Garry.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is the one who is always by Islam Makhachev’s side, supporting him. Even after the title fight against Ian Machado Garry, he once again had words of praise for the winner, Islam Makhachev.

With this victory, he also set a UFC record for the longest winning streak in UFC history. He ultimately won the thrilling fight by unanimous decision.

Khabib Nurmagomedov was, of course, back in his corner. Afterward, he posted many words of praise for his longtime friend on Instagram.

"There's a word: achievement. In sports it means a lot, and Islam and ‘achievement’ are synonyms. He has reached the pinnacle of this sport, broken the record for the longest winning streak in UFC history, and is rightfully considered one of the best athletes to ever step into the Octagon. May the Almighty keep you safe, Brother”

he wrote.

Before the big win, longtime commentator Joe Rogan said he wouldn’t be surprised if Islam Makhachev retired after this victory. However, Islam Makhachev has no such plans and definitely wants to come back. Islam Makhachev emphasized that he’ll take a little time off, but he definitely won’t end his career.

The next two top contenders, Carlos Prates and Michael Morales were also in attendance at the event. It’s possible that one of them will be the next to fight for the title. If it were up to Islam Makhachev, he’d like to face Carlos Prates, as he considers him a worthy contender. It remains to be seen who will get the next shot at the title.

I think Carlos Prates will definitely be the next challenger. Islam Makhachev has wanted to face him for a while now, and I think the UFC will listen to him this time. I’m curious to see how much further he can extend his winning streak.
