Why Islam Makhachev Isn’t Worried About Breaking Anderson Silva’s Record
UFC star Islam Makhachev isn’t thinking too much about tying or breaking Anderson Silva’s win streak record as he prepares for UFC 322 tomorrow night.
On Saturday, Islam Makhachev will challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC welterweight championship. If he wins, he will join an exclusive club of fighters who have been able to win belts in two weight classes in the UFC. In addition to that, though, he will take his current win streak up to 16 fights, which will match the record set by the great Anderson Silva. Currently, he is tied with Kamaru Usman, who was on 15 before his head kick knockout loss to Leon Edwards.
