One of the coaches of UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev noted the level of his work in the rack. According to the specialist, if Islam believes in his striking technique, it will be very difficult for his opponents.
"We have a lot of conversations with the team about Islam Makhachev. He admitted that he underestimates his skills in the stand-up. After the fight with Dustin Porier, I wrote to Islam about his mistakes. In terms of technique he has no mistakes or gaps. If Makhachev opens up and believes in his standup, it will be hard for his opponents. In training he is completely different, but in fights he is cautious. Islam boxed well in Australia, considering his physical condition.
