Islam Makhachev not only the best fighter in the world, he's also the most accomplished lightweight champion in UFC history.
Despite a late switch of opponents, pound-for-pound king Makhachev made short work of Renato Moicano on Saturday, securing a first-round submission in the main event of UFC 311. The victory makes Makhachev the first UFC lightweight champion in history to defend his belt four consecutive times, breaking Makhachev out of a four-way tie he held with BJ Penn, Benson Henderson, Frankie Edgar and his longtime friend and coach Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Makhachev (27-1) accepted the Moicano bout on just one day's notice after his original opponent, Arman Tsarukyan, withdrew due to a back injury on Friday.
