UFC American lightweight Rick Glenn has spoken out about his division's champion Islam Makhachev of Dagestan.
"Islam is just on another level and he also races a lot of weight. I was surprised he still hasn't moved up to welterweight. Man, I trained with him in the same gym. And before the weigh-in he could barely move, he was throwing punches slowly like a zombie.
Now he's doing well making weight and then recovering. But I worry that if he can't recover from the weigh-in, someone will knock him out. It's impressive how Islam races so much weight and then regains his conditioning," MMA News quoted Glenn as saying.
