Islam Makhachev Continues To Impress With Another Finish
3 years agoOne of the hottest lightweights in the world, Islam Makhachev continued his impressive run by securing a first-round submission win via kimura against Dan Hooker on Saturday. On a run since 2015, Makhachev landed only two significant strikes (13 total strikes) in 2:25 of action, but he scored the only takedown he needed to eventually lock in the submission. Similar to Chimaev, Makhachev is one of the very few fighters that you simply must start every time he's available.
