Despite the response from Daniel Cormier, Islam Makhachev admitted that he was lying when he shared his thoughts on Dustin Poirier's guillotine choke.
The friendly banter was on full display during the Dagestani's appearance on ESPN's Good Guy / Bad Guy with Cormier and Chael Sonnen. After 'DC' caught the reigning lightweight champion lying, he responded by complementing Poirier's abilities.
