Pick: Makhachev

Podcaster, commentator, and analyst Josh Thomson thinks Makhachev will submit the Brazilian at UFC 280.

”I think that Islam is gonna get the takedown, he’s gonna dominate the top position. He’s gonna work slowly and methodically with heavy pressure on the top, and he’s gonna end up getting either the kimura, some sort of D’arce, some sort of choke, he’s gonna end up on top. The strength of Islam is gonna be the big factor in this and the control on the top position, that’s the way I look at it,” Thomson said on ‘Weighing in Xtra’.
