Tony Ferguson Says Islam Makhachev Is Building His Own Legacy Beyond Khabib

Ferguson says Makhachev isn’t chasing Khabib’s record; he’s writing his story. Asked if Islam has surpassed Khabib, he said, “I think he’s his own athlete. I don’t think he concerns himself about Khabib.” Ferguson said, “After Khabib retired, Islam had time to shine.” Makhachev became a double champion by defeating Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight belt on November 15.
