UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev in an exclusive interview with marvelgamingbet.com suggested organizing a freestyle wrestling matchup between the Russian and U.S. national teams.

We should bring the American freestyle wrestling team to the PWL (Poddubny Wrestling League - editor's note) and organize a match meeting between Russia and America. It will be very interesting. Daniel Cormier will be watching it closely, he always sends the performances of wrestlers from the United States to our social media conversations. We keep our own statistics there. He used to send his young students to Dagestan gyms. He sent them to Khabib Nurmagomedov's gym, to Urozhay (Gamid Gamidov Sports Complex - editor's note). But only one of Cormier's pupils has won a single fight. This is a strong argument in our favor.
On November 3, a match between the national teams of Dagestan and North Ossetia took place at the PWL 6 tournament in Moscow. After 10 fights, the Dagestan team won with a score of 7:3.
