UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall believes light heavyweight titleholder Islam Makhachev could have the upper hand in a fight with former division leader Khabib Nurmagomedov.
"That's a good question. I actually think Islam could win. I think he's a little bit stronger in the striking. He's more dangerous in the standup. In wrestling they are very similar," Aspinallv told Froch on Fighting.
As a reminder, Aspinall knocked out Curtis Blades in the first round at UFC 304 in late July.
