Islam Makhachev responded to Dana White mistakenly not remembering his name during a media address, expressing his thoughts in a more refined manner.

UFC president Dana White made an unfortunate gaffe when answering questions about the forthcoming superfight between lightweight champion Makhachev and Volkanovski.

Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev spoke with MMA Junkie ahead of his highly anticipated title defense against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia. During the interview, he elegantly addressed the topic of Dana White forgetting his name while addressing the media.

The Dagestani MMA fighter quoted:

"U.S people this not easy, my surname he forget but, Makhachev is not easy for the U.S you know. Like Nurmagomedov I don't hear like somebody say right you know, everybody did some mistake because that's why I don't care so no bad blood."

Makhachev seemed totally unfazed about the mistake made by Dana white.


The Cost of Carelessness: Islam Makhachev's Team Faces Consequences

Islam Makhachev, known for his fierce fighting spirit, took a break from training to enjoy the Rottnest island's many attractions. He was spotted riding a bike, soaking up the sun, and spending quality time with his team. However, amidst all the fun, the team found themselves in a potentially compromising situation when images of them feeding the quokkas made their way to social media.

In an effort to avoid any potential penalties, Makhachev quickly deleted the images from his Instagram account. Feeding wildlife is strictly prohibited on Rottnest Island, as it can harm animals and disrupt their natural habitats. As a responsible athlete and animal lover, Makhachev made the right decision to remove the images and ensure that the quokkas are protected.

In the latest episode of the UFC's Embedded Vlog series, Islam Makhachev was recorded feeding a quokka, a small marsupial found on Rottnest Island in Australia. It remains uncertain if Makhachev will face any consequences for this action, however, it seems that the incident will not negatively impact his chances of participating in this weekend's competition at UFC 284.
