MOSCOW, Aug 23. Russian ACA league fighter Eduard Vartanyan discussed the differences between former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and promotion lightweight title contender Islam Makhachev. We note that on October 22, Makhachev will fight in the main event of UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi against Charles Oliveira. A vacant belt is at stake.
"I think they are different psychotypes. Islam is more of a phlegmatic type of character, and Khabib is a sanguine mixed with a choleric. <…> Khabib, because of his monstrous endurance and hard work, takes (victories). Makhachev has a certain talent. Khabib has no talent … I can explain: he has a titanic work and discipline, which is much more important. I saw a lot of talented people. I have a friend, I asked him how he finishes. He replied: "I see it". Well, how can you see it?! I'm sure Khabib is the same. We trained with him: monstrous diligence, multiplied by discipline. In the fight against him, I did not see anything supernatural, except for pressure. And pressure is the result of training & # 34;, — Vartyanyan quotes & # 34; Match TV & # 34;.
