Khabib’s 2014 Warning: ‘Remember This Name’ Islam Makhachev Goes Viral

A decade-old tweet from the UFC Hall of Famer is making rounds after Makhachev’s rise to double-champ status. Back then, Khabib called his 11-0 teammate “one of the best European young fighters” and urged fans, “Remember this name. Sambo world champion.” Today, Makhachev holds two UFC belts, shares the record 16-fight win streak, and is honored at home in Dagestan.
