PRIMARY RECORD SOURCESherdog Fight Finder
Fight Atlas republishes factual bout results, not source articles or photography. Belt markers appear only when championship status is confirmed by an official promotion source; unverified bouts are never inferred. The matched source name for this profile is Islam Makhachev.

HOW ISLAM MAKHACHEV FIGHTS
Makhachev builds control through pressure, body-lock entries and efficient top position. His low strike absorption matters because it complements—not replaces—the grappling threat that shapes every exchange.

READ THE NUMBERS
What these rates mean
SLpM is significant strikes landed per minute. SApM is significant strikes absorbed per minute. Accuracy divides significant strikes landed by attempted; defense measures the percentage of opponents’ significant strike attempts that do not land.
Source and correction standard
Professional record and UFC career statistics link directly to UFCStats. Division status comes from the official UFC rankings. A recent bout can temporarily create differences between sources, so the verification date is shown rather than presenting the data as permanently current.
