Demetrious Johnson believes Jack Della Maddalena’s title fight against Islam Makhachev could go one of two directions.
Maddalena will look to defend his welterweight title against Makhachev in the main event at UFC 322 on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York. While it is one of the most anticipated matchups of the year, Johnson believes there’s a possibility of the fight being a boring affair. According to Johnson, the fight won’t be fan-friendly if Makhachev can take Maddalena down and impose his will on the ground. However, Johnson is impressed by Maddalena’s ability to scramble like he did against Gilbert Burns.
