Islam Makhachev, a top UFC lightweight, spoke about joint sparring with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the organization's former champion in the lightweight division.
"Only by chance or out of the blue. If you prepare something, if you want to pass to the legs, it was very hard to put him down. The undercut, maybe it will work, but this way, straightforwardly, Khabib was very difficult to fall," the fighter said.
On October 30 Makhachev is scheduled to fight against Dan Hooker. This confrontation will take place in Abu Dhabi at UFC 267.
