"Stylistically, the champion, I guess. He's a pretty good fighter. If you put him to the ground, you don't dominate him on the ground, he's too good for it. He has a good jiu-jitsu and his wrestling is not bad, he does his own touchdowns," Makhachev said in an interview with Ushataika, a YouTube channel.
Makhachev next fight will be against Rafael Dos Anjos on October 30 at UFC 267.
