Dustin Porier compared the wrestling skills of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
"The transfers to the parterre are different, in terms of pressure they are similar. Makhachev works more in the clinch and throws a takedown on the upper torso. Khabib was passing to the feet, that is, conducted attempts to transfer lower. I think Khabib is physically stronger. Although Islam was pressing very powerfully during the takedown. All top fighters are strong, but when Islam held a choke.... I didn't think he was tired at the end of the fight. I think he could have spent another five minutes in the octagon at least," Puryear told MMA Hour.
