Makhachev vs Lee, who takes it ?

[Deadwing88]

This matchup was originally being discussed, never materialized tho..

Tbh, I see Lee gassing out and being finished late. Lee simply doesn't have the cardio for 3-5 grappling intensive rounds with Islam.

What? Some UFC Newbie just gave Islam all he could handle in teh wrasslin department..

 

[Grapplefest]

Makhachev, his TDD is insane, and his cardio would be too much for Kevin Lee.

 

[TR1]

Islam did not look too horribly tired after 3 rounds of hard grappling.

Lee fades after 2 rounds of being in a dominant position.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Lee would have a great shot if he trained with Dillashaw...

 

[Soul On Ice]

I want to pick Lee but don't trust his chin

 

[Shammon]

Horrible matchup for Lee. He either gasses out or gets finished like you said or Makhachev keeps it standing and KO's him.

Acting as if Islam is overrated and newbie has no skills.

That kid is 22 and looked amazing against a seasoned vet.

 

[Kumason]

3 rounds Kevin 5 rounds Islam imo

JDS was a UFC newb when he KO'd Werdum.

Werdum obviously sucked after, never accomplished anything etcetc.

What a terrible take.

 

[M1 Sn]

Lee an easily
Bigger
Stronger
Proven vs better guys
Longer reach
More experience
Lee also has an underated chin
He took big shots from Ferguson AL and Barboza

Lee wins

 

[Iron Skin]

Lee doesn't have the cardio to keep it up with Islam.

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Islam would bully Lee. His TDD is outstanding and his striking is good enough to hurt Lee and keep him on the back foot.
