Islam Makhachev Introduces Prospect Following 'Dagestan 2-3 Years and Forget' Plan

A fighter who claims to be preparing for his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut has accepted Islam Makhachev’s famous advice.

One of Makhachev’s most renowned one-liners is his advice to Daniel Cormier to send his children to "Dagestan two to three years and forget” to teach them wrestling. While there have seemingly been some casual takers of Makhachev’s advice, the champ finally has a pro fighter under his wing.

Brahyan Zurcher (9-0) from Mexico is in Dagestan to train with Makhachev. Zurcher claims he will make his debut at Noche UFC on Sept.
