Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold commented on the possible move of the lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev to the welterweight category.
“I think he will not dominate so much. But I am sure Islam has become stronger, bigger. A lot of time has passed since our joint training sessions. We are all growing, in every sense. I think Islam will look good with welterweights. He will gain muscle mass. But I have always had problems with Islam. When I fought Machida, I took Makhachev for sparring. And it was not easy to deal with him," Rockhold said in an interview with Submission Radio.
