Former UFC interim lightweight title holder Justin Gatzhi compared Russian MMA fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. Khabib has already finished his career, but in the past he was the champion of the lightweight promotion, and now the belt belongs to Makhachev.

Sport24, In an interview with SHAKE ME on YouTube, Gadzhi admitted that he considers Makhachev a great fighter, whom it is very difficult to defeat. However, there is a point that is fundamentally different from Khabib's.

"He's not invincible... he's been beaten before, and I think that's the biggest difference between them," Justin said.

Makhachev's last fight took place in October last year in the UAE. At the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, the Russian defeated Alexander Volkanovsky from Australia in the first round. Nurmagomedov ended his career in 2021 shortly after the death of his trainer father from coronavirus.
