What UFC Fighters "Really" think about Islam Makhachev ?

[@razipponzi7343]

Salam brader Islam. You need to solidify your position as a champion. Best is you make a quick finish. And STILL , in sya Allah ☝🏼

[@anyliser187]

Im usually passion over logic but this time its pretty much the same thing...islam all the way

[@missmarya747]

islam of course. and still the p4p . 🥇🏅🏆 Arman no where close to the same challenge as Dusty Diamond 💎 was.

[@aliencity9309]

60/40 Islam

[@00ruva00]

yall gave him too much leadway, now he is unstoppable

[@BuddhaJeezus]

Islam is not like khabib. Islams striking is actually good, khabib was v v basic. Their grappling styles are also v different. When have you seen islam do anything similar to what khabib did to MJ or Barboza?

[@saifaldin_]

Their grappling styles are different. If you watch the way Makhachev fought prior to, and very early in his UFC career, he was using a very similar style to Khabib (double/ single leg takedowns from outside, wrapping the opponent’s legs and g&p). For whatever reason, Makhachev didn’t have the same amount of control as Khabib did, and even when it worked, it would sap his energy faster. It might be because of physiological differences, or because he was younger. Over time, we see how Makhachev has evolved his grappling to be a bit different - less chain wrestling, more clinches and favouring advancing positions as opposed to total control. Makhachev would flow more, and allow opponents to change positions so that he can find openings for submissions. He likes solving puzzles.. going ‘let’s see what you have for me’. Whereas Khabib would just go ‘no, we will play my game, and nothing else’. A big part of that comes from their personalities.

@@saifaldin_ excellent analysis , spot on

[@getroasted7907]

Khabib has really good striking, it is just that he doesn't use it much as he doesn't want to really damage his opponents. He is like the polar opposite of justin gaethje

[@socialmediaego]

It’s called strategy… Islam could wrestle, and grapple in an aggressive manner if he wanted to.

[@CaseyKCRichards]

The ground game is going to be very competitive … i will give Islam the edge standing up… which he will get the job done maybe with sneaky kick. If not, it’s going to the cards.

[@Michael-of8gg]

Some of the hardest shots i have taken were from smaller guys

[@KagisoTembane]

😅 me out here about to hate DC for not knowing that Islam finished Volk once not twice damn

[@ShantinooO]

Yeah u the type to say Volk won the first one, when in reality he only had one round over Islam

[@KagisoTembane]

@ShantinooO I actually don't think Volk won it did look close but if you don't finish a champion you probably won't win

[@conorsheehan8815]

This one is a toss up. First fight was close. Could go either way

[@MilovanMilovanov]

Not really. Islam still have the wrestling advantage, and is more compose on the feet as well, his thai clinch is very strong

[@benjacques6664]

Not that close, Islam won all rounds.

[@aKleenKProduction]

DC out here gobbling every Dagestani glizzy

[@getroasted7907]

Ay ay chill. He trains with them. Showing appreciation to something doesn't necessarily mean whatever you just said.

[@reemraw9956]

Is he lying tho? Ask yourself lol

[@trapperbytariksfouane7558]

I think you like the glizzie kleen

[@OmgLasersPewPew]

You're a child

[@bigchow240]

🤡

[@Slackerwun]

arman in 2

[@Джабраилович]

brather, Makachev is different level brather...

[@Jaydobbaback]

Bratha

[@aKleenKProduction]

Delusional, Islam will retire as LW goat 🐐

[@saifaldin_]

Arman has the physical ability, speed and drive; but judging from his recent fights, he still lacks game planning and strategy compared to Makhachev.

[@keyronmurray1817]

This is what a drunk comment looks like huh?

[@Durray13]

this leg, undefeated, undisputed. 💪🦵
