Islam Makhachev doesn’t think all UFC fighters need to enroll in the “2-3 years Dagestan” project.
Makhachev’s advice to Daniel Cormier to send his kids to “Dagestan 2-3 years and forget” has become a cult statement over the years. The former lightweight champ was recently asked by ESPN to weigh in on a list of fighters regarding their need to go to Dagestan to improve their wrestling.
While Conor McGregor might need some time in Dagestan, Makhachev said that he is not allowed,due to obvious reasons. Makhachev believes Sean Brady’s wrestling is good enough to avoid the Dagestani training.
