Islam Makhachev Says Usman Nurmagomedov Is UFC-Ready, But Won’t Rush Move

Makhachev said the PFL champion already has UFC-level ability, but the timing matters more than hype. “I think he’s ready; he would give hard rounds to anyone,” he said, pointing to years of training together and knowing his “true potential.” Islam added there’s no need to rush, and if Usman’s contract expires within a year, it’s the perfect window to join.
