The current UFC champion Islam Makhachev met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić during his official visit to Belgrade. The meeting became an interesting event for both sports fans and the public: the Russian fighter presented the president with the gloves he wore when he won the championship.
Vučić received this meeting with special warmth and highly appreciated Makhachev. According to him, Islam is an excellent athlete, world champion and one of the most famous and strongest people he has ever met. The President called this conversation a pleasure and an honor for him. In particular, it was noted that the donated gloves were used in Makhachev's last fight - and this is not a simple souvenir, but a symbolic gift associated with the spirit of the championship.
The meeting was not limited to just "photos and gifts". The parties also talked about the role of sport in building a healthy society, the influence of famous athletes on young people. As Vučić emphasized, leading athletes inspire young people to discipline, responsibility and perseverance - that is, sport is not just a medal or a belt, but also a school of character.
The Serbian leader also said that the country will continue to support sports and young talents, that sport promotes true values, mutual respect and unites different peoples. That is, there is a bigger idea behind this meeting: sport can be a "common language" between different countries and different views.
In conclusion, Aleksandar Vučić wished Islam Makhachev further victories: he wished him to achieve his greatest goals both in the octagon and in life. One signal is clear to the fans: the champion's reputation is strong outside the octagon, and this fact is further expanding his name.
