Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Islam Makhachev said his daughter will not receive a phone call yet. Makhachev quotes his words “Sports Express”.
“It’s definitely not too early. That’s one hundred percent. If I can accompany my daughter to and from school, then obviously she doesn’t need it. But now everything is connected with the phone, I’m not saying I won’t buy my daughter a phone. If there is a need, then of course you will have to buy it.” But there is no good in this,” Makhachev said.
On February 12, Makhachev defeated Australian Alex Volkanovski by unanimous decision after five rounds at the UFC-284 tournament in Perth. For the Russian, this victory was the 24th victory with a single loss in his professional career. This is Makhachev’s first title defense. In total, he had 25 fights in his career, winning 24 and suffering only one defeat.
Makhachev is scheduled to defend his title in his fight against Charles Oliveira on October 21. However, the Brazilian player was injured in training and will be replaced by Volkanovski.
Previously Makhachev named His mistake in his first fight with Volkanovski.
