I don’t assume any man from 155lbs to 185lbs can beat Islam Makhachev. It doesn’t exist. I imagine 155, 170, 185, I feel Islam can beat anyone on any given day.
“This is what I believe in because of what he’s shown me, the development, the improvement,” Abdelaziz continued. I feel Islam will beat Alex Pereira at 205, I do. I swear to Allah. I feel Islam Makhachev will beat Alex Pereira. He’s simply going to take him down and end him, submit him. Alex Pereira can knock out anyone on the planet if he touches you, however I feel Islam Makhachev is that this good.”
