Islam Makhachev Rejects Comparisons with Khabib Nurmagomedov, Says Goals Are Different

Makhachev (27-1) dismissed comparisons with coach and UFC legend Khabib, calling them “a stupid question.” The former lightweight champion, now nearing Khabib’s 29-0 legacy with his own dominant run, praised his coach’s dedication. “He’s been away from family for months; his dream is to make new champions,” Makhachev said, emphasizing Khabib’s mission to uplift teammates and friends beyond personal records.
