UFC middleweight prospect Bo Nickal assessed the fight level of current UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev of Russia.
"His wrestling is okay, but it's different from Khabib's style. His wrestling is much better. Islam's wrestling is okay, it's above average. His style is not like a world-class fight, but it's still good," Nikal said in a video on his YouTube channel.
As a reminder, Makhachev will have his next fight on June 2 against Dustin Puryear. This fight will headline UFC 302.
