Habib Nurmagamedov – perhaps the greatest MMA fighter of all time – says TMZ Sports his friend and protégé, Islam Makhachevmay ultimately be the best fighter!

Charles Oliveirabecause he had a series of 11 wins and the UFC has never had such a fight. 11 wins against 10 wins. It is assumed that I am against it Tony [Ferguson]. Well, it never was. Now we have Islam against Charles. Let these guys fight. “

“When Islam defeats Charles and then he defeats new blood, as from the younger generation, we have a lot of young fighters in the lightweight rankings. Beneil [Dariush], Islam defeated Charles, Islam defeated three more fighters, he could become the greatest in lightweight. He has that potential. He’s only 30, but the UFC should give him a chance. “
