Who Is Islam Makhachev’s Wife?
Although MMA fans get excited every time Islam Makhachev steps foot in the UFC octagon, they are also curious as to who he is dating too. Here at SportsCasting we can reveal that Islam Makhachev is indeed a married man.
However, their marriage is kept very private an entirely out of the public eye. The 33-year-old may well have a very public career in the spotlight as the UFC Lightweight Champion, but it is clear Islam Makhachev is happy to keep his private life entirely behind closed doors.
Although the identity of Makhachev’s wife is unknown, it is certain that he is a married man. Not only has Makhachev’s wife never been revealed in pictures or anything, but even her name has been kept a secret as well.
It is believed that the Dagestani MMA superstar got married on April 8, 2021, in Makhachkala, Dagestan. However, any photos from the fighter’s wedding day are just of him, with the bride’s face hidden under a white gown.
It could potentially be a religious thing as to why Makhachev’s wife’s identity remains private. His culture and private nature mean he wishes to keep his wife’s identity anonymous. It is even unknown who his parents are too.
Apart from arguably the single best fighter on the entire UFC roster, next to nothing is known about Islam Makhachev’s private life outside of the octagon.

Does Islam Makhachev Have Any Children With His Wife?
Although his personal life is kept very private, it is evident that Islam Makhachev is a loving husband and potentially a loving father too.
The reigning 155-pound king is rumoured to have a daughter too, meaning he has at least one child. We can confirm this is the case, but the pound-for-pound UFC star could potentially even have more children.
The reason it is common knowledge that Makhachev has a daughter is because he opened up about being away from family in the post-fight press conference following his UFC 280 victory over Charlies Oliveira.
In the UFC 280 post-fight press conference, Makhachev revealed that it has been hard for him to see his daughter grow up due to his MMA commitments and travelling across the globe to fight:
“Last couple [of] months, I watched the video [of] how my daughter is growing up without me. But after [a] couple [of] days, I’m gonna be home,” said Makhachev following the biggest win of his career over Charles Oliveira.
Fast forward to now and the reigning UFC lightweight king is earning a great living for his wife and daughter through his successful MMA career. As previously mentioned, Makhachev may also have other children, but for now it has only been confirmed he is a father to one – his daughter.
It is great to see that Islam Makhachev seems to have his personal life in a good place outside of the octagon, as well as living the dream inside it. Not only is he winning inside the cage, but he seems to be winning outside of it too!
