Islam Makhachev

It’s official, Islam Makhachev has tied with UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira for the longest active winning streak in the lightweight division. The Dagestan’s very own Makhachev submitted the very tough Dan Hooker in the very first round via Kimura in UFC 267.

Hooker had no answer to Makhachev’s pressure on the ground and Islam has a knick to get to kimura the moment his opponent gets to the ground. He made his way into title conversation and bizarre Twitter reactions as well from pros and public figures of the MMA world.
