Kamaru Usman Says Islam Makhachev’s Legacy Is Separate From Khabib Nurmagomedov

Responding to Henry Cejudo, Usman insisted Makhachev’s legacy stands apart from his coach and friend Khabib. Cejudo argued Jack Della Maddalena has more to gain because he’d beat Ramazan Emeev from Khabib and Abdulmanap’s lineage. Usman countered that Makhachev, on a 15-fight win streak, “has written his own history” and deserves discussion on his own terms instead of Khabib comparisons.
