Edwards' trainer assessed Makhachev's welterweight prospects

Alexandr Ormanji July 22, 2024, 3:42 p.m.

Dave Lovell, the coach of UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, has spoken out about Islam Makhachev, the lightweight champion.

"Leon had already gotten a feel for Islam to a certain extent, as they trained together on American Top Team early in their careers. Leon and of course Islam had wrestling bouts with Khabib and other guys. Will Islam be strong enough at welterweight? Will he remain as dominant as he was at lightweight? I don't think so. Has Makhachev had a puncher as accurate as Leon in his career? No, he hasn't had opponents like that," Bloody Elbow quoted Dave Lovell as saying.
