Sambo specialist, Islam Makhachev, will square off with Brazilian prospect, Thiago Moises, this Saturday (July 17, 2021) at UFC Vegas 31 inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Much like his team mate Khabib Nurmagomedov before him, UFC Lightweights are not all that excited about fighting Makhachev. He’s a miserable match up, an overwhelming wrestler who doesn’t yet have a big name. Despite being promised a top-ranked foe in the fall, Makhachev has opted to fight again to remain active.
