Athletistic/ MMA. Former mixed martial arts fighter, former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier spoke about the difference between Russian fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
“No one in the UFC has dominated a skill like Khabib. He has amazing wrestling and grappling. But Islam Makhachev is also a great fighter. Plus he’s a fantastic striker and more technical than Khabib. I think that Makhachev’s story has only just begun The world has yet to see how good it is,” Cormier said.
Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from mixed martial arts in 2020, having won all 29 of his fights. Islam Makhachev currently has 22 wins, 1 loss, 0 draw in professional MMA.
On October 22, 2022, Makhachev will face Brazilian Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title. Oliveira’s stats are 33 wins, 8 losses, 0 draw, 1 no fight.
