Dagestani Illusion being revealed

Fighters being purposefully matched up with opponents who can't compete with them in grappling created an illusion of dominance. Khabib is the best known example of this illusion. Who were the Dagestanis actual opponents?

Al Iaquinta

Bobby Greene

Dan Hooker

Edson Barbosa

McGregor

Strikers who avoid the grappling domain in fights. The "smesh" meme is just matchmaking. Always has been. Volkanovski exposed this by dominating the best Dagestani fighter of all-time while competing at a significant size disadvantage.
