Although ‘The Eagle’ never ventured up in weight like Makhachev is in New York City this Saturday, ‘The Diamond’ branded Nurmagomedov as the stronger of the two Russian standouts. “Takedowns are different. Pressure is similar,” Poirier said regarding the styles of Nurmagomedov and Makhachev.
Makhachev (27-1) will look to become the 11th two-division champion in UFC history when he challenges welterweight titleholder Jack Della Maddalena (18-2) inside New York's Madison Square Garden. With a win, the 34-year-old would also tie Hall of Famer Anderson Silva for the most consecutive wins in UFC history with 16.
