“The only one who can overcome Islam is Beneil Dariush. Only he has the necessary style for this. His style is very unconventional. He seems to say: “Do you want to fight in the stand? I will translate you. Do you want to drag me into a fight? I'll stop your takedowns and we'll fight on the stand."

Recall that Makhachev and Thomson have been training at the AKA gym in San Jose, USA for many years.
