Islam Makhachev

As befits a true Caucasian, Islam Makhachev is laconic and prefers not words, but actions. Therefore, exhaustive information about his biography, family, relatives and friends and other things is practically impossible to find. It is known that he was born on October 27, 1991 in Makhachkala, Lak by nationality.

Since childhood, he has been very friendly with Khabib and Abubakar Nurmagomedov. He studied with the latter in the same class at gymnasium No. 38; they even have a touching child's photo at a New Year's party with Santa Claus. From an early age, the cherished dream of a novice athlete was a trip to America, which subsequently came true in full.

The page on the VKontakte social network of the fighter is replete with reposts of records about morality, worthy behavior of his wife and husband, among which the main place is given to the veneration of adults, especially parents.

The guy found himself in the professional ring of fighting without rules in his native country in 2010, and the next five spectacular performances were held under the auspices of M-1 Global. Makhachev invariably emerged victorious from the bout with Ukrainian Tengiz Kuchua, Tunisian Mansur Bernu, Brazilian Randero Junio, compatriot Yuri Ivlev and Croat Ivica Trushchek. By the way, he also easily obeyed combat sambo.

The victorious procession in the world of MMA continued in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, an agreement with which was signed in early October 2014. Six months later, the guy made his debut at UFC 187, where he forced Leo Koontz to surrender, like Khabib Conor McGregor in the powerfully promoted "confrontation of the century" in 2018. Further in the career of Islam, a black streak began.

On the day when the entire enlightened world celebrated the 120th anniversary of the birth of the "most Russian" poet Sergei Yesenin, the Russian lightweight (70 kg with a height of 178 cm) entered the cage of the most experienced Adrian Martins. The knockout overtook him already in the 1st round at the end of the 2nd minute, and after the meeting the foreigner consolidated his title of "offender of the Dagestanis".

Further, the clouds thickened even more - by the decision of the anti-doping commission, the fighter is prohibited from participating in the upcoming tournament against Drew Dober. But Islam did not remain silent - at first he published a huge commentary on what happened on the page in Instagram and, assuring the fans and all those who were not indifferent of his own innocence, he apologized for the disrupted fight.

As time has shown, he turned out to be right - he was reinstated in his rights, considering that the prohibited drug could be included in the composition of medicines prescribed for the treatment of heart disease. He backed up the above with deeds, winning the first fight after the suspension, as, in fact, the subsequent ones.

However, Makhachev is not the only one who suffered from the failed "cleanliness" test. At the same time, for example, Alexander Povetkin was subjected to serious accusations.

Personal life, perhaps, is a closed topic for the champion. It is impossible to find any information, all the more provocative, on the pages of publications, in the headlines of articles on the Internet or in personal accounts about a beautiful lady, even a supposed one. But the guy does not regret congratulations to his married friends and even helps them in preparing for the wedding celebration.

As for the upbringing of children and youth, the young man is categorical - a possible festival of colors in his homeland was harshly criticized, supported comrade Nurmagomedov in the unflattering assessment of the behavior of fans at a rap concert of popular Azerbaijani performers HammAli & Navai and advocated the cancellation of Yegor Creed's show.

He spends his free time watching movies, loves football, judo and freestyle wrestling, and is also open to new sports knowledge, mastering wakeboard and alpine skiing. Sometimes Islam sits down at the computer to fight the PUBG game, but, according to him, he does it less and less.

Often friends and colleagues of Islam arrange practical jokes for each other. During weight training, athletes have to follow a strict diet: videos and photos of food that accidentally appear on the pages of their comrades on Instagram can anger any athlete.

Now Makhachev is training under the guidance of Javier Mendes. In preparation for the next competition, the athlete lives in the California city of San Jose. The first mentor of Islam, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, proudly recalls his ward. According to the father of Khabib Nurmagomedov, the guy is one of the three best fighters along with his son and Rustam Khabilov. Islam is still Khabib's sparring partner. Makhachev also became the author of a diet for his friend.

With the guy's martial arts, everything is calm and smooth: the January and July competitions of 2018 again ended safely for Islam Makhachev, adding to the collection of awards. And if the Dagestan knocked out Gleison Tibau in the winter in the 57th second of the 1st round, then the Canadian Kayan Johnson won in the summer with an elbow lever.

At the beginning of 2019, Makhachev was scheduled to fight against Brazilian Francisco Trinaldo, but the competition was canceled, presumably due to a scuffle between Nurmagomedov and McGregor's teams that took place in New York after the fight between two legends. Islam also took part in the fight. This act of the fighter influenced the attitude of the UFC leadership towards him - the athlete was punished by suspension from the fight.

The next competition took place in April. Arman Tsarukyan, a Russian wrestler of Armenian origin, a debutant of the promotion, entered the ring against Makhachev. The victory went to Islam by unanimous decision. In September in Abu Dhabi, the Dagestani fought with Davi Ramos, and again the Russian won by unanimous decision.

If your ancestors endowed you with the sonorous surname Makhachev, and your native republic is Dagestan, then God himself ordered you to become professional fighters. Actually, this is exactly what the young, but surprisingly talented champion of the Russian Federation and the world in sambo, who began a successful career in 2010, did. This confident path was not without a scandal.
