Porier compared Makhachev and Khabib

Alexandr Ormanji May 26, 2024, 5:25 a.m.

Dustin Porier, a top UFC lightweight, compared Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev to each other.

"They do similar things in the top position, but they're definitely different fighters. Makhachev has a great clinch, underhooks, he's a more flexible puncher than Khabib. He's more focused on doing sub-moves than Khabib, especially when it comes to elbow leverage, which is something we've never seen from Khabib. They are similar in certain moments, but some things Islam does better than Khabib and some things Khabib does better than Islam."

As a reminder, Puryear is scheduled to fight Islam Makhachev on June 1. This confrontation will headline UFC 302.
