A former UFC champion has given his two cents on whether Islam Makhachev will beat prime Georges St-Pierre in a potential bout. UFC Hall of Famer ‘GSP’ had conquered the middleweight and welterweight divisions back in the day. Similarly, Makhachev has now joined the list of UFC two-division champions.
The Dagestani phenom defended his lightweight belt four times before vacating it earlier this year, after which he moved up to welterweight and dethroned Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322. With his most recent win, Makhachev also unseated Topuria as the pound-for-pound kingpin and took the spot.
