Pick: Makhachev

Top ranked lightweight Arman Tsarukyan believes both fighters got what it takes, but still see Machaev as the favorite if he plays his cards right.

“I see Islam is going to try and push him to the cage, to take him down and try to hold him, submit him,” Tsarukyan says. “But if he can’t do that, it’s going to be dangerous. If he wants to box him, I think Dustin Poirier on a different level.”

“His punch, his speed, he can knock him out very fast. That’s why Islam’s got to try to take him down right away. For me, the favorite is Islam on this fight, but like I can put money on Dustin Poirier KO, because it could happen.”
