Islam Makhachev Wrestles Bear "DC" - light weight vs Heavy

#IslamMakachev
#UFC249
#DanielCormier
#AmericanKickboxingAcademy
#Islamvsbear
The title is only slightly misleading after all with the weight difference, it is like Islam Makhachev is testing himself against a bear. Not only that...Imagine if bears were Olympic level wrestlers haha. We have seen Umar Nurmagomedov take a shot at DC, now you get to see Islam use his crafty Dagestani wrestling on the Champ Champ. It might be funny if the whole weight class adopts this practice, and wrestles men twice their size in order to prepare for their opponent. The truth is, it would add way too much wear and tear to the body. So enjoy this uncommon grappling session with two big UFC stars who will probably never meet in the UFC Octagon.
