Heading into the bout, Makhachev is a massive -390 favorite while the Irishman is a +280 underdog on FanDuel. Although Makhachev is a big favorite, he\u2019s not just looking to win; instead, he said he plans to take more risks and look for the finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fight, I will take more risks to finish my opponent, because I like finishing my opponents,\u201d Makhachev said to MMAJunkie. \u201cThis fight, I think honestly, from the first time when I take him down, I have a chance to finish him, because I saw his ground game \u2013 it\u2019s not so good, you know? He have good striking, long reach, long arm, and he control the distance, always go back, but I see when I take him down, it\u2019s gonna be a finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Makhachev does finish Garry, it would be a statement win as the Irishman has never been finished in his career.
