Iaquinta compared Makhachev to Tyson

UFC fighter Al Iaquinta has spoken out about the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier

"Everybody is rooting for Dustin. But Makhachev has the aura of Mike Tyson, he is feared in the lightweight division. I'm not comparing Islam to Mike! But Dustin doesn't seem to be embarrassed by Makhachev's image. Porier has fought everyone, he's won and lost. It's hard to make predictions. Maybe I like Porye, but once he gets moved to the parterre...If Porye can get out of that situation, and there are doubts in Makhachev's mind, Dustin will have the advantage. In that case, Porier might get lucky. Makhachev can laugh all he wants at Porye's guillotine, but if he gets caught in that clinch, it will be no laughing matter. In one of the universes, Porier can beat Makhachev with this hold," Iaquinta told Ariel Helwani.
