Ilia Topuria believes both Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena need to work on certain things.
Makhachev (28-1) challenged Maddalena (18-3) for the welterweight title in the main event at UFC 322 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The former lightweight champ dominated Maddalena on the ground for five rounds to earn a lopsided unanimous decision victory. Topuria was disappointed with Maddalena’s performance as a defending champion. “El Matador” invited Maddalena to his home country of Georgia to improve his wrestling.
However, Topuria (17-0) thinks Makhachev also needs to work on certain aspects of personality, even if not his fighting skills.
