Sonnen named a fighter capable of withstanding Makhachev's takedowns

Former UFC fighter and now analyst Chael Sonnen named the name of a fighter who could stop takedowns Islam Makhachev.

“If we had a person who would fight with Islam all evening and would not allow him to be on top, then would you agree that this is a victory to a certain extent? I don't think Islam can bring Michael Chandler to earth. It's my opinion. I believe that Michael Chandler could stop the takedowns. Moreover, if Chandler stumbles and ends up on the bottom, then I believe that he can return to his feet, turn to face Makhachev and start in a neutral position.

Recall that Islam Makhachev is the UFC lightweight champion.
