Former UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis was critical of the fighting styles of Islam Makhachev and Khamzat Chimaev.
“Right now, we see fights where guys hold opponents on the ground and just dominate, it happened with me and Maddalena, 20 minutes of control. A dominant performance, but watching such a thing is not very interesting.
When Merab [Dvalishvili] fights, it's never boring. He enters the cage to wrestle not to hold the opponent, but to finish them, and that's what I like about his style,” Du Plessis is quoted as saying by Betway South Africa.
