Who would have ever thought fans would get to see Harry Styles and Islam Makhachev in the same frame? But that’s exactly what happened at the Euro 2024 final in Berlin last night. The British pop star was sat with late night host James Corden, while Makhachev came alone to watch the game.
The photo of Styles and the UFC champ in the same frame went viral on social media as fans could not comprehend the pair sharing similar interests.
One of the most popular pop artists in the world sitting alongside the the UFC lightweight champion of the world, a crossover no one expected.
And as one might expect, people did think it was very random.

Well, the champ is enjoying his time off from fighting at the moment. And why wouldn’t he? Arman Tsarukyan is not going to take him on the streets, and Conor McGregor is in Ireland celebrating Spain’s win.
Doner Kebab > Tsarukyan anyway
Although there is no fight confirmation yet, the champ will most likely fight Tsarukyan some time during 2024. However, he does not seem bothered by it. Because a doner kebab is worth it. It is so worth it!
And to fans, who might not have tried it before, you are urged to remember the episode of Parks and Recreation where Ron Swanson discovers a new meat delivery system in the Meat Tornado! This is that but so much better!
Now, without getting carried away by English tears, Makhachev is still training and keeping in shape but he’s not in camp yet. Hence, the kebabs and the spicy food.
The Dagestani also shared a video of him and his friends enjoying the city of Berlin. Makhachev, just like Khabib Nurmagomedov is an avid soccer fan and is often seen attending these games.
Regardless, Islam is expected to be back in camp when the Dana White eventually calls him up for the Tsarukyan title fight. Until then, doner kebabs it is!
