It all started with a simple comment from Islam Makhachev. Islam came across a post of a fan proudly wearing his T shirt during a chemotherapy session. He left just five words:
“The real champ. Get well soon.” As things evolved he later flew the fan out, got him tickets to his fight with Ian Garry, and made sure they finally got the chance to meet. 🎗️

Next time you’re told we make the best fights remember this moment:
1. Gaethje/Paddy with Arman ready
2. Volk/Diego with Movsar and Lerone ready
3. Islam/Usman (presumably) with Shavkat, Morales, Prates, Garry all ready
And an interim title fight - not featuring the top contender - over one of the best female fights ever.
Lost 9-2. No subs, no shade, felt like Alan Brazil out there. Lucozade warm by half time. They had a semi pro footballer and a lippy centre back who said ‘it’s 0-0 lads’ every time they added another goal. All in all a terrible day at the office
