This will be a relatively quick and simple breakdown.
Makhachev is an elite wrestler and grappler. Holding incredible skills in sambo he makes it look effortless in taking down his opponents and controlling them from start to finish. I personally do not factor into how much time Bobby Green had to prepare for this (it was not much) as he will not be able to keep Makhachev from eventually getting a hold of him and taking him to the canvas.
Makhachev brings pressure from start to finish in smothering his opponents even if he is not taking them to the mat. Having Khabib in his corner coaching him is a big plus too as Khabib might just be the best at applying that nonstop pressure of strikes with takedowns and breaking down his opponents. I am taking a shot on Makhachev getting a quick takedown here and avoiding the striking of Green as he should look to get a submission and make a statement in his second main event.
