British UFC Lightweight Prospect Paddy Pimblett shares his thoughts on Islam Makhachev and gave a forecast for the Russian duel with Beneil Dariusz...

“Makhachev has never fought with anyone. Perhaps with Hooker. I think I myself would have defeated Hooker by submission in the first round because he is a kickboxer. I would transfer him to the ground and make him surrender.

Whoever wins the Oliveira-Gatji fight will remain the champion this year, because I don't think Makhachev will be able to defeat the winner. Moreover, I think Dariush will beat Makhachev. Beneil is very underrated, he is damn good, ”said Pimblett on the Believe You Me podcast.
