Is Islam Makhachev on the path to becoming the greatest mixed martial artist of all time?
The ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ added another world title to his resume at UFC 322, handily defeating Jack Della Maddalena to capture the welterweight championship and becoming the latest in a very short list of fighters to rule over two divisions during their career.
In the eyes of many, Makhachev’s defeat of ‘JDM’ helped him surpass his mentor and former lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov.
But for American Kickboxing Academy founder Javier Mendez, Makhachev took a giant leap toward establishing himself as the P4P best ever.
