Islam Makhachev’s longtime training partner and friend, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has penned a message for Makhachev after the latter secured a second UFC title this past weekend at UFC 322. Makhachev dominantly dethroned Jack Della Maddalena with a wrestling-heavy approach as he won by unanimous decision.
Nurmagomedov, who is constantly at Makhachev’s corner to mentor him during fights, did the same against ‘JDM.’ Following the bout, ‘The Eagle’ shared several photos with ‘Team Eagle,’ showing off both of Makhachev’s UFC belts, one on Nurmagomedov’s shoulder and the other in Makhachev’s. In the caption, he congratulated Makhachev with a heartfelt note, which reads:
“One and only @islam_makhachev ud83dudc4a It was amazing performance Brother, today you proved that you are the one of the best who ever compete in this game.
