UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili believes Islam Makhachev stands a real chance of defeating Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322.
Later this year, Islam Makhachev will challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC welterweight championship. If he’s able to get the job done, he will join an exclusive group of fighters who have been able to win world titles in two different weight classes.
While it’s going to be a tough challenge, Islam Makhachev certainly has the tools necessary to win the strap at 170 pounds. There are different theories on how it’s all going to play out, but the prevailing thought is that this will serve as the toughest test of Islam’s career to date.
