Gor MMA head coach Gor Azizyan shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net regarding Islam Makhachev's victory over Renato Moicano.
Moicano himself understood that fighting Makhachev was a mismatch for him, with no chance of victory. He just made some money. I have known him since 2015. He is nowhere near Makhachev's level. Lightweight is not his weight class. He struggled even in the featherweight division. He lost to Rafael Fiziev and got knocked out. Why did he come to lightweight now? Makhachev could have submitted him 50 times during the fight. Moicano's value didn't change after the loss to Islam.
