Islam Makhachev has cemented his legacy as one of the most dominant fighters in UFC lightweight history, with four consecutive title defenses and a record 17 consecutive victories. The Russian’s reign has been so prolonged that even his peers, like Uros Medic, are urging him to consider retirement.
During a recent podcast appearance, Medic admitted he was growing weary of witnessing Makhachev’s unmatched success, calling him the undisputed best in the division. Makhachev himself has hinted at winding down his career, with his next fight expected to be a high-profile showdown for the interim 170-pound title at UFC 336, where he’ll face the winner of Carlos Prates vs.
Michael Morales. Despite fan and executive pushback, Makhachev remains unfazed, having already redefined what it means to dominate a weight class.
