Former UFC heavyweight champion Bas Rutten thinks Islam Makhachev could be the first fighter to dominate three different divisions inside the Octagon.
After establishing himself as one of, if not the greatest lightweight of all time, the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ opted to vacate his 155-pound crown in a bid to move up and challenge newly minted welterweight titleholder Jack Della Maddalena. But why stop there?
During a recent interview with Submission Radio, Rutten spoke about Makhachev’s massive potential in a heavier weight class and whether or not he could be the fighter to become UFC’s only triple champion.
