The former contender for the UFC lightweight championship, Arman Tsarukyan, compared Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov in technical terms.
“In technical terms, Islam is definitely on another level. If you look at Khabib’s striking technique, how he kicks or boxes — they are two different things. But the pressure, wrestling, control on the ground, and breathing are Khabib’s strengths. But overall, Islam is on another level.”
