American Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Bobby Green in an interview Youtube channel Jaxxon podcast accused Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev of cheating.
“Why do you think the UFC is holding Makhachev’s fights in Abu Dhabi? Because the Russians are cheating. I have a normal attitude towards Russians, I am very happy if I have fans in Russia. But I know people who have entered the MMA world. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev visit the mosque, train there, but others cannot enter there. Even USADA officers (US Anti-Doping Agency – socialbites.ca). This allows them to do whatever they want,” the warrior said.
The American fought Makhachev in February 2022. The fight ended with the victory of the Russian athlete by technical knockout. Green later stated that his opponent was doping. According to him, Makhachev himself said that he was given vitamins at school. Green believes it was steroids.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency suspended Greene from competition in the fall of 2022 after an out-of-competition drug test on May 16 detected anabolic steroids. Due to his cooperation in the investigation, his suspension was reduced to six months.
