Diaz rips Islam Makhachev’s UFC 284 win, champ responds (msn.com)
UFC 284’s headliner between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski was a back-and-forth battle, with both men showcasing a bit of what they’ve got outside of the skills that they’re known for. But in the end, it was Makhachev who got the judges’ nod with a unanimous decision to mark his first successful title defense.
Many, however, didn’t see it that way. A few fighters who saw what happened leaned more on a Volkanovski win. But the most high-profile of them all was former UFC superstar Nate Diaz, who gave his props to the featherweight champ while dissing Makhachev’s win.
