Islam is crazy bro because his bread and butter is obviously the ground game but he’s so interested in beating you in your own world. Islam kept that on the feet way more than he needed to just to prove his striking. So cold.

[@Hlwrrthegoat]

Okay Islam finally found your secret account, can you please explain to me how someone who gets destroyed on the feet against the rank 4 retiring Dad has "insane" striking? He wasnt striking to show he could do it because he couldn't, as soon as Dustin stuffed takedowns and was boxing Islam, islam goes to huggies and kissies on the ground because he's absolutely garbage at striking. Islam didn't keep the fight on the feet he literally went for takedowns at every interval, and was stuffed and after his head was slashed open he went back to huggies and kissies on the ground.

Islam Makhachev's performance against Dustin Poirier was indeed a testament to his versatility and skill set. Despite Poirier being known for his striking prowess, Makhachev showcased superior boxing techniques, including effective pivoting, weaving, and counterpunching. This highlighted his striking abilities and demonstrated his comprehensive approach to mixed martial arts. Makhachev's ability to outbox Poirier and his ground control and submission skills resulted in a dominant victory. His striking on the ground was particularly impressive, maintaining pressure and control, ultimately leading to the submission. This win solidified Makhachev's status as a well-rounded and formidable fighter, capable of excelling in striking and grappling.
