Firas Zahabi, coach of the legendary Georges St-Pierre, compared Khabib Nurmagomedova And Islam Makhacheva.
“Khabib wasn’t worried about getting hit. That's why I think he's better than Makhachev. His chin was incredible. Also, Khabib never showed that he was tired. While Makhachev, in the fifth round of the fight against Volkanovski, got tired and lay on the ground. I think Khabib is a higher level fighter than Makhachev. I like Makhachev’s strike better than Khabib’s. But Khabib is such a tough puncher, with such a powerful chin, with such a cool jab, although not technically delivered. Khabib literally ran over his opponents.”
