“I think Islam can finish JDM on the ground. We saw with DDP [Dricus du Plessis, against Khamzat Chimaev], if you’ve never felt one of those Dagestani style wrestlers, you don’t want it to be your first time in the cage feeling it. Islam and they have a different feel, they have a different type of grappling. So, for JDM, even in our fights, he makes mistakes on the ground.”
