Islam Makhachev was the victim of theft during a trip to Italy, with criminals stealing his luggage. Among the stolen items were football boots belonging to Georgian soccer star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which had apparently been given to the UFC lightweight champion. The thieves also took Makhachev's passport during the robbery. However, the passport was later returned to Makhachev, though details about how this occurred are not provided in the post. The incident references a previous comment by Khabib Nurmagomedov about not reading books about Sicilians, presented as a humorous warning about potential risks in Italy. The theft represents a significant inconvenience for the champion during what was presumably a personal trip.
