Islam Makhachev was robbed while traveling in Italy, with thieves stealing his luggage that contained boots belonging to footballer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia among other items. The thieves also took Makhachev's passport, though it was later returned to him. The incident occurred during what appears to have been a personal trip to Italy for the UFC lightweight champion. Details about the circumstances of the theft or whether any other items were recovered remain limited in the initial report. The theft of the Kvaratskhelia boots is particularly notable given the Georgian footballer's prominence and the likely sentimental or collectible value of the footwear.
