UFC 330: Islam Makhachev full post-fight interview
Who stayed up till 3:30 glued to Islam Makhachev making UFC history? 🙋♀️ He notched his 17th straight win, breaking Anderson Silva’s record while defending his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry.
Post-fight, he called it a tough bout—Garry’s stand-back game and solid takedown defense hindered his best performance. He felt he won the first two rounds, but two judges gave Garry rounds 3&4, pushing round 5 to do-or-die; he still thinks he had three rounds in the bag.
He’s not retiring like Khabib—this guy’s just getting started! What had you on edge? Who should challenge him next?
