UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev isn’t just satisfied with being the best at 155 pounds – he wants a whole lot more than that.
Last night, Islam Makhachev was able to defeat Renato Moicano in convincing fashion. In doing so, he became the first man to successfully defend the lightweight belt four times in the UFC. At this point, it’s almost impossible to deny that he is the current pound for pound best fighter in the sport.
Alas, while he’s done some incredible things at lightweight, Islam Makhachev clearly wants more. He’s ready to write his name into the record books in as many ways as he possibly can, and he doesn’t care what he has to do in order to achieve it.
