UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev has received praise from UFC legend Georges St-Pierre for his recent world title triumph.
At UFC 322, Islam Makhachev joined a rare group of fighters who have been able to win belts in two different weight classes. He defeated Jack Della Maddalena in what turned out to be a pretty one-sided performance, and in doing so, he established himself as one of the all-time greats – alongside the likes of Georges St-Pierre.
GSP knows a lot about fighters from Dagestan, especially after years of being linked with a fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
