Having successfully defended the UFC lightweight championship belt in a confrontation with Alexander Volkanovski, Islam Makhachev chalked up his twelfth victory in a row and became the author of the longest active winning streak among active fighters in the strongest league in the world.
Previously, the leader in this indicator was Volkanovski, who failed to extend his winning streak in the UFC to thirteen matches in a duel against Makhachev.
Having lost to the Russian by a five-round unanimous decision, the Australian, who owns the UFC featherweight championship belt, is likely to lose the first line in the UFC P4P ranking, which he took in August last year after the defeat of Kamaru Usman.
Recall that the superfight between Makhachev and Volkanovski, who led the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, ended with a score of 49-46 and 48-47 twice in favor of the Russian, however, a few hours after the fight, the Australian fighter, having reviewed the record, announced his victory and demanded organize an immediate revenge.
