Islam Makhachev won’t move up too much higher in the greatest of all time rankings even if he wins at UFC 322, says MMA legend Matt Brown.
On Saturday night, Islam Makhachev will attempt to join a very exclusive group when he challenges Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC welterweight championship. If he wins, he will become a two-weight UFC champion, and he will do so against an opponent that many believe will cause him a lot of problems.
Of course, Islam Makhachev is already considered to be one of the best lightweights to ever do it, but in order to reach ‘GOAT’ status or even come close, you need to do something seriously special in the sport of mixed martial arts.
