Islam Makhachev did what many thought was improbable in his most recent trip to the octagon. Makhachev submitted Charles Oliveira , the man with the most submission wins in UFC history, in the main event of UFC 280 this past October in Abu Dhabi. It was a dominant performance in which Makhachev, to the surprise of many, didn’t struggle much in the grappling department against Oliveira. The victory improved Makhachev’s winning streak to 11 and, more importantly, earned him the UFC lightweight title. You can watch Makhachev’s championship win in the video above.
