"I remember Dana White telling me that Dustin Porier was out of his mind after his defeat to Khabib and said that no one else could have done to him what Khabib Nurmagomedov did. Khabib's power, his control and the way he manipulated his opponents in the parterre was unprecedented. I think Islam Makhachev has most of the same qualities. When he takes you to the floor, it's very similar to what Khabib did, but because Islam is better at striking, I think he's even more dangerous than Khabib at his peak."
