Cejudo predicts Makhachev/Edwards
“Islam Makhachev is a different wrestler. He’s very disciplined. His actions speak louder than his words,” Cejudo said. “Colby Covington started to bring out the wrestling too late. But the simple fact is, the attempts he did have when he actually went for broke and actually went to take him down, he easily got the takedowns.
“This is where I feel a guy like Islam is going to expose him. He (Edwards) does fight everybody the same. We saw with guys like Israel Adesanya… guys that are pretty much one-dimensional,” Cejudo said. “The guys who are the hardest guys to fight are the guys that have other weapons other than just striking… I’m gonna have to give (the edge) to the one and only, the Dagestani nightmare, Islam Makhachev. I just feel like he’s too strong, he’s gonna feel too good, and stylistically, what I thought Colby was going to do, this dude can do it better.”
