As a former UFC champion in two weight classes of Heavyweight and Heavyweight, the information that Daniel Cormier is often very high accuracy. Recently, the UFC commentator revealed an interesting information about the unusual condition of Islam Makhachev, the reigning champion of Lightweight.
“Normally, Makhachev kept weight at 90kg. But before every match at UFC, he would practice and squeeze the weight of 70kg of Lightweight,” Daniel Cormier said. This judgment is more grounded when Daniel Cormier used to have time for training for Islam Makhachev.
If the above information is true, it also means Islam Makhachev has the same weight as a boxer in Light Heavyweight. The UFC champion also pressed down to 3 weight classes before each match, despite the deep weight pressing that could seriously affect health in the future.
The usual weight of Islam Makhachev also helped him to promote Welterweight to play, if this boxer wishes. At the present time, Makhachev has defeated almost every rival of the Lightweight class, and that is the basis for him to look forward to another weight.
Another interesting information about Islam Makhachev is that he does not appreciate the ability to play lying (grappling) of many UFC boxers. Makhachev frankly said that many UFC boxers now own the black belt Jujitsu, but they lack the skills to play in high level.
