Religion of Islam Makhachev

Inter&anthro Hello. I undid your most recent edit to the page. It is common knowledge that Islam Makhachev is a Muslim fighter from Dagestan, just like Khabib. Please take a look at the below for reference:

https://www.world-today-news.com/khabib-nurmagomedov-retires-these-are-4-muslim-fighter-candidates-to-replace-him/ The title is "Khabib Nurmagomedov retires, these are 4 Muslim fighter candidates to replace him". It goes on to name Islam Makhachev as one of the 4, as well as .

https://sports.sindonews.com/read/357418/50/petarung-mma-muslim-islam-makhachev-penerus-khabib-menang-7-beruntun-1615161811 This source is in Indonesian language, but it is easily machine translatable. The title of the article is "Muslim MMA Fighter Makhachev, Khabib's Successor, Wins 7 in a Row"

https://www.parhlo.com/rise-of-islam-makhachev-is-he-the-next-khabib-nurmagomedov/ There is a whole section of this article that is titled "Islam Makhachev-Another Russian Muslim MMA"

https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/other-sports/ramadan-mubarak-conor-mcgregor-and-khabib-nurmagomedov-send-festive-greetings-to-fans.html In regards to observing the holy month of Ramadan the article says: "While this religious practice does not hold much significance for those outside the Islamic faith, MMA fans are familiar with the holy month because of its impact on the sport, considering fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev deny fighting during the holy month. Nurmagomedov, who is now retired, claims that MMA fighters are prone to get injured while training, so it’s dangerous to compete inside the octagon while fasting, where the risk is even bigger."

Birthdate

Is Islam's birthday 09/27/1991 or 10/27/1991? According to ESPN, his birthday is in October, but according to practically all other sources(sherdog, other websites), it is in September.

Hopefully this will be cleared up in the coming days as the UFC's instagram will likely post a happy birthday message on the real date. Jeicex1 (talk) 08:16, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They didn't post anything on his birthday, so I guess this is still up to debate but now I lean towards October. Jeicex1 (talk) 19:44, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MMA fighter info is as per sherdog ((independent, reliable source) - see -https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Islam-Makhachev-76836. Pls note instragram, UFC and ESPN (as it associated with UFC) they are considered not independent source. Cassiopeia talk 09:00, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thank you for clarifying. Jeicex1 (talk) 21:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

His birthday has been updated to October 27th, as sherdog has updated his birthday on their end. Jeicex1 (talk) 21:44, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updating after becoming UFC LW Champion

the following sentence should be deleted, for it is now irrelevant, that he was #4 in may: As of May 9, 2022, he is #4 in the UFC lightweight rankings. J.O.Reichardt (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name

His name Aeslam Makhachev, it wasn't translated correctly, here video of Khabib pronouncing his name correctly https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nKbpN3ylXUQ 176.12.232.52 (talk) 12:34, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Utube is not considered a reliable source and Wikipedia use independent, reliable as the source. Cassiopeia talk 21:58, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The source in Russian already exist in the tap, in the article (1)

(Рамаза́нович Маха́чев) is translated correctly to (Ramazanovich Makhachev) but his first name (Исла́м) isn't translated correctly, in English the letter S is often pronounced as a Z sound like the word Islam, while his name in Russian (Исла́м) pronounced (Eslam) not Islam, with E sound not Z sound , also in Arabic the common name (Aeslam) with E sound — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.253.188.254 (talk) 01:29, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that his name, Islam, should be pronounced as Aeeslaam in English. Additionally, Khabib's name is often mispronounced as "Khabib" with a "kh" sound, but it should actually be pronounced as "Habib" with an "h" sound, similar to the word "Habibi" in Arabic. 2A06:C701:9B0C:9A00:2DDC:4B32:7A1C:9754 (talk) 08:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
