Their religion and nationality are the most important aspects for them. During the month of Ramadan, Islam Makhachev recently stated that he had been offered a fight from Dana White for UFC 300, but he had to let the opportunity slide because he would be fasting.
While others considered that Islam Makhachev was using fasting as an excuse looking into reality, Ramadan doesn’t only require one to fast but also not to intake a drop of liquid while the sun is up. The complete routine of the fighters needs to be changed, as they need to carry out their daily task during the night and sleep when the sun is up.
Training in the gym at times like this is a difficult task. And to consider a fight would be out of the question.
