Gor Azizyan, the founder and head coach of the Gor MMA gym, shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net regarding a potential matchup between his fighter Sharabutdin Magomedov and former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
I would like to see Shara fight Israel Adesanya. He is the strongest striker in the division. Alex Pereira has moved up to light heavyweight, and now I think he will be avoiding Magomed Ankalaev. If Shara wins against Adesanya, everyone will start to realize that he is indeed the best striker in the division.

Magomedov boasts an undefeated record of 15 wins with no losses, while Adesanya has 24 victories against four defeats in his career.
