Vettori: "I know a guy who can cause a lot of problems to Makhachev"

Former UFC middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori believes his teammate Beneil Dariush could be a very tough test for Islam Khamachev.

"Islam is a great guy. We once had a chance to train together in Las Vegas. He's a really great fighter, but there's one guy who can give him a lot of trouble. I don't even know if I'd like to see that fight right now or if I'd rather see it when one of them becomes the champion. That guy's name is Beneil Dariush and he's my teammate. That would be an incredible fight. I can't wait to see him," Vettori said in an interview with youtube channel Real Quick With Mike Swick.

On October 30 at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, Makhachev won by first-round painful hold over Dan Hooker.
