Commentator and analyst Chael Sonnen talked about how after criticizing Islam Makhachev, he received a call from the dissatisfied manager of the fighter, Ali Abdelaziz.
“After I suggested that Makhachev moved out of fear of Topuria, Ali Abdelaziz called me. He was unhappy with my remarks about Islam.
I didn’t want to accuse Makhachev of cowardice. I meant that from a historical perspective, it actually looks like Islam left lightweight because of Topuria. He really did leave the division when Ilia challenged him. That’s how it was,” Sonnen’s words are quoted by the portal Sportskeeda
