It may have been brief, but the former UFC welterweight king had something to say.
Atop UFC 322 last Saturday, the 170-pound crown changed hands when Islam Makhachev (28-1) won a dominant decision over then-champ Jack Della Maddalena (18-3). The defeat halted an 18-fight win streak for the Aussie, who had dropped his first two bouts as a pro and did not lose until the Makhachev bout.
The victorious Makhachev has posted six times on his Instagram since earning his second belt in a different division, including a photograph alongside Daniel Cormier where the two enjoyed the victory while feasting on donuts and cookies.
