While acknowledging Makhachev's dominant grappling, Adesanya pointed out a specific element in the lightweight champion's striking that has caught his attention. This observation comes as Makhachev prepares to defend his title at UFC 330, a highly anticipated event.

Adesanya, known for his own exceptional striking prowess, offered a nuanced perspective on Makhachev's standup game.
