Jorge Masvidal doesn’t think the new welterweight contenders are a threat to Islam Makhachev.
Makhachev (28-1) dominantly dethroned Jack Della Maddalena to win the welterweight title in the main event at UFC 322 last weekend. The same card saw the emergence of two new welterweight contenders in Carlos Prates and Michael Morales. While Prates knocked out former champ Leon Edwards, Morales flatlined fellow contender Sean Brady. However, Masvidal reminds us of a perennial contender lurking in the shadows, Shavkat Rakhmonov.
