"I think Arman has everything to win. I think Islam hasn't looked healthy in his last few fights. A lot of people think Volkanovski beat him. In the first fight, because Makhachev dominated the second fight. And Dustin Porier gave him a lot of resistance.
I think Makhachev has a very difficult time making weight. But he can't move up in weight, because the champion there is his friend and teammate. Arman has a great chance to beat Islam," Dawson said in an interview with James Lynch.
Recall that Makhachev and Tsarukyan will meet in the main event of UFC 311, which will take place on January 18 in Los Angeles, USA.
