Islam Makhachev has now diverted his attention to Al Iaquinta . Makhachev (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was in UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov’s corner at UFC 223 in Brooklyn, when he faced Iaquinta for the vacant UFC 155-pound title in 2018. Nurmagomedov would defeat Iaquinta (14-6-1 MMA, 9-5 UFC) via unanimous decision, and Makhachev was there to show his respect to Iaquinta for his efforts by wiping the blood off of his face
