If Islam Makhachev beats Jack Della Maddalena, he will tie Anderson Silva’s record of 16 straight victories in the UFC. If he does this, Islam wants to battle Kamaru Usman – who managed to reach 15 – in an attempt to break the record set by ‘The Spider.
Over the course of the next couple of days, Islam Makhachev will be putting the final pieces of his preparation together as he gears up for a blockbuster main event on Saturday night. He will challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC welterweight championship at UFC 322, and if he wins, he will join an exclusive club of fighters who have been able to become two-weight world champions in the UFC.
