A lot of people don’t agree with the result of UFC 284’s headliner between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski. Makhachev was awarded the unanimous decision, but many others like longtime commentator Joe Rogan believe otherwise.
But for UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, his AKA teammate was the rightful winner. In a video he uploaded on his YouTube channel, he explained why.
“Makhachev fought for extended periods of time on his feet. And for so long, people talked about ‘it’s wrestle or nothing for Makhachev.
“But it wasn’t just wrestle or nothing for Makhachev. It was ‘wrestle if you could’ but it was ‘stand and strike if you needed to.
