Sonnen names a fighter who can beat Makhachev

"I know that Tsarukyan can beat Islam. And you guys know that Arman is capable of it. Although in the fight I will favor Makhachev," Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that on January 19 at UFC 311 in Los Angeles, USA, Makhachev defended his title for the fourth time, defeating Renato Moicano by first-round choke. The Dagestani's opponent was originally scheduled to be Tsarukyan, but the latter pulled out a day before the tournament due to back problems.
