Islam Makhachev is undoubtedly the pound-for-pound #1 fighter in the UFC. The lightweight king has proved again and again why he is the most complete champion.

<p style="margin-top: 0px;" > When it comes to achievements, some might put him ahead of <strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov</strong> as the lightweight GOAT and I would agree. </p><p>Failures make a fighter strong and the Dagestani star was able to experience that early in his career in 2015. Since then, he has been on a dominant 15-win winning streak and doesn&apos;t seem to be slowing down. His latest win came at UFC 311 even though he finished his opponent in the very first round. </p><p>Makahchev trained under the legendary<strong> Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov </strong>and now is mentored by &apos;The Eagle&apos; himself. The discipline and determination instilled in him from an early age have made him a dominating machine. The fighter has the tools to beat fighters from any background, especially from BJJ and its an understatement.</p><p>FS Video</p><p><b><font>Islam Makhachev&apos;s beef with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts</font></b></p><p>From knocking out his opponents to submitting Brazilian black belt holders, Islam Makhachev just goes through all of them. The Dagestani with his Russian sambo background doesn&apos;t necessarily respect BJJ experts. A few years ago, Makhachev went viral for his comments on UFC fighters having fake BJJ black belts. </p><nh-chunk-delimit />

Islam Makhachev&apos;s dominance over BJJ black belts (via Instagram/X)<p>He promised to check these fighter&apos;s BJJ skillset and it&apos;s safe to say he has been quite successful in it. Up until now, he has submitted five BJJ black belts in his UFC career. In this article, let&apos;s learn about all the BJJ black holders who fell prey to the lightweight champion.</p><p><b><font>Top BJJ black belts who got submitted by Islam Makhachev in the UFC </font></b></p><p>The biggest BJJ black belt expert in the UFC is undoubtedly <strong>Charles Oliveira</strong>, who has the record of most submission in UFC history. However, against Islam Makhachev at UFC 280, &apos;Do Bronx&apos; fell short and got tapped out in the second round. Talk about proving a point and nobody does it better than Makhachev.</p>Islam Makhachev submits Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier (via X/MMA Fighting)<p>Recently, he submitted two BJJ black belt holders, <strong>Dustin Poirier</strong> and <strong>Renato Moicano</strong>.

On both occasions, the Dagestani used his favorite D&apos;Arce choke which forced the fighters to tap immediately.</p><nh-chunk-delimit />
