American fighter, former champion UFC Jamal Hill answered whether he considers the Russian Islam Makhacheva the best fighter on the planet, regardless of weight categories, Sports.kz reports with reference to Sport24.ru.
Earlier, UFC President Dana White said that American Jon Jones should overtake Makhachev in the UFC's pound-for-pound (P4P) rankings.
— Is Islam the best fighter in the P4P world? — Right now, if we take only active fighters, then yes, I will give first place to Islam. He’s the best in the world right now,” Hill told Helen Yee Sports.
On January 19, Islam Makhachev will hold a UFC lightweight title fight against Russian Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 311 in Los Angeles (USA).
