Islam Makhachev is currently on a 13-fight win streak, holds the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight championship and has proven to be one of the most dominant fighters in the sport.
But, is he a big star? According to Bobby Green, he can be bigger.
“King” was asked to give his thoughts on the upcoming “BMF” title fight between Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway during UFC 300 Media Day earlier this week. Green was quick to give props to both men, who will collide on UFC 300’s pay-per-view (PPV) main card this weekend (Sat., April 13, 2024) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And he was more specific about Holloway, who loves to take risks to enhance his star power … unlike Makhachev.
again.
tends to agree.
willingness to step in to face Makhachev on just two weeks notice back in Feb. 2022 after Beneil Dariush bowed out of the fight with an ankle injury.
Makhachev defeated “King” in the first round (video here).
The Lightweight champion hasn’t competed since he knocked out the aforementioned Volkanovski at UFC 294 in Oct. 2023 (see it again here), his second win over the former Featherweight champion. Interestingly enough, it was a big risk “The Great” took, too, replacing Charles Oliveira on short notice after he withdrew with an injury.
What say you, does Green — who will face Jim Miller at UFC 300 — have a point … or is Makhachev’s slow and steady pace a smarter approach?
