The lightweight king and UFC champion who replaced Khabib: a biography of Islam Makhachev.
Islam Makhachev is the best lightweight in the world. The Dagestani accepts any challenges in the octagon, strangles and knocks out rivals, trains with Khabib Nurmagomedov and grows as a fighter. Islam has been involved in sports since childhood, and his path to the top of the UFC can be compared to a hike to Mount Everest, where danger lurks at every step.
