Iaquinta on whether Makhachev can be compared to Khabib

Alexandr Ormanji Oct. 7, 2021, 2:58 a.m.

UFC lightweight Al Iaquinta responded to the question of whether Islam Makhachev can be compared to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"Can Islam be compared to Khabib? Islam is not that dominant in fights, although he did well with Dober. It was a Khabib level performance. Really, I'm reminded of the tie-down with Moses. I don't believe Khabib could have been thrown like that."

Islam Makhachev will have his next fight on October 31 at UFC 267 against Dan Hooker.
