Khabib Nurmagomedov couldn't wait to celebrate Islam Makhachev becoming the new UFC welterweight king and took the two belts from Dana White to place them on his childhood friend's shoulders.Makhachev recently went up against Jack Della Maddalena in a 170-pound title fight in the main event of UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. While many expected Makhachev to struggle against the bigger Australian, the Dagestani grappling savant dominated the fight over five rounds and ultimately won via unanimous decision.Makhachev now joins an exclusive list of two-division UFC champions and is tied with Anderson Silva for the longest win streak in promotional history, with 16 consecutive victories. The former UFC lightweight champion is now 28-1 as a professional fighter, with 13 of those wins coming via submission.Given that Makhachev is widely considered to be Nurmagomedov's protege and trained under legendary MMA coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov for years, it's no surprise that 'The Eagle' was over the moon to see his friend win another title. So much so that the UFC legend took the two UFC belts from White while Bruce Buffer announced the winner.He then placed them on Makhachev's shoulders before hoisting the new UFC welterweight king up on his shoulders for a celebratory run around the octagon.Ariel Helwani believes Islam Makhachev has surpassed Khabib Nurmagomedov's legacy after UFC 322 winAriel Helwani recently shared his thoughts on Islam Makhachev beating Jack Della Maddalena in their welterweight title fight at UFC 322. Helwani also opined that Makhachev has surpassed Khabib Nurmagomedov's legacy and could go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters ever.In a video posted to his X handle, Helwani said:"[Makhachev] is just so strong, he is so good, he is so dominant, he is so talented, and now he becomes just the 11th fighter in UFC history to win a belt in two different weight classes... He is the P4P best in the world, there's no denying that. He's slowly but surely going down as one of the greatest ever. In my opinion, he's now put his mentor Khabib Nurmagomedov, with this victory, very much in the rear-view mirror. He has surpassed him."
