Robert Whittaker has carefully analyzed the fighters’ recent fights and pointed out the favorite in the Makhachev vs Tsarukyan duel.
– I realize how good a fighter Arman Tsarukyan is. If we look at Islam’s last fight against Dustin Poirier and Arman’s last fight against Charles Oliveira I think there is a difference between them. There is simply a difference in skill level.
– Everyone mentions how well Arman did in his first fight, but look at the names and the level of fighters Islam defeated. It seems to me that the scene and status of the fights in which Makhachev participated is greater. Islam is in such good shape now that I find it hard to imagine that he could lose this.
