UFC LEGENDS Explain How SCARY Islam Makhachev Really is

UFC LEGENDS Explain How SCARY Islam Makhachev Really is Islam Makhachev has become one of the most feared fighters in UFC history, and the reactions from his fellow competitors tell the whole story. In this video, we break down what legendary fighters really think about the former lightweight champion's terrifying evolution. You'll hear from UFC icons including Daniel Cormier, who was genuinely shocked by Islam's strength during their first training session, Khabib Nurmagomedov sharing what his late father Abdulmanap saw in Islam from day one, and Dustin Poirier reflecting on their championship battle. We also cover reactions from Georges St-Pierre, Michael Chandler, Tom Aspinall, Tony Ferguson, Sean O'Malley, and Joe Rogan—each offering unique insight into why Makhachev has the entire MMA world on notice. From his world-class sambo and wrestling to his increasingly dangerous striking (that Volkanovski knockout still hits different), Islam has systematically eliminated every hole in his game. With his welterweight debut against Joaquin Buckley at UFC 322 in Madison Square Garden approaching, the questions about his ceiling have never been more relevant.
