“The fact that the Dagestanis are very talented guys may surprise you, but certainly not those who have played in the world championships and other international tournaments. When I won the world championship bronze, Russia had five or six champions, and most of them were from Dagestan.
They are great fighters. I was convinced of this again after Khabib, then Islam. At that time, the thought crossed my mind that if Dagestanis came to mixed martial arts, it would become a problem for the whole world. That’s exactly what happened. Makhachev no longer has an equal in light weight. He’s very confident in his fight,” Cormier said as quoted by MMA Fighting.
