Media Islam Makhachev visits a school for special needs

When it’s all said and done, will Islam leave the sport with a greater legacy than Khabib?

i dont think Islam will ever truly surpass Khabib since Khabib was the first one out of Dagestan to really get super famous. he had so many iconic lines and phrases. he also went undefeated in the UFC and didnt have much trouble with most opponents.
Islam has proven to be extremely skilled and dangerous, but he's been KO'd before and some opponents have given him some trouble like Arman, Thiago Moises and Volk. its likely he surpasses Khabib in title defenses and/or if he wins a second belt. but i dont think he will ever have the same impact Khabib had on the sport.

on topic of the thread - this is a really awesome thing for Islam to do. he seems like a pretty decent guy from all of the footage and interviews i have seen of him.
 
Islam may leave a greater legacy because Islam is a religion where as Khabib is just a person. Islam has a storied history spanning many centuries where as Khabib has yet to even exist for half a century.
 
Khabib is a smart ass for someone who's reason for famous is to get punched in the face. That's why I like Islam so much. He doesn't lecture people, doesn't correct them, doesn't act like some kind of wise philosoph or whatever. Just hanging up in the village, riding horses, fishing, shooting and sometimes camp for a title fight.

In all seriousness, good on Islam.
It obviously made their day.
