AKA Hall's head coach Javier Mendes made a comment on his charge Islam Makhachev's upcoming fight against Dustin Puryear.
The Dagestani will defend his UFC lightweight title against the American's claims on the night of June 2 at the promotion's 302nd numbered event in Newark, USA.
"Will Makhachev's fight be similar to Puryear's bout with Khabib? No, it will be completely different, because Islam is not Khabib. They are two different fighters and they work in the octagon in different ways. The one thing they have in common is discipline. Both work hard, but they have different styles.
Islam can do everything. How he wants to win, when he wants to win, where he wants to win - those are questions only for him. That's the difference between Khabib and Islam. Khabib's thing was wrestling, and Makhachev will do whatever he wants with Porier," MMA Junkie quoted Mendes as saying.
