“I don’t think anyone would mind if Islam gets a title shot. I’m sure for Shavkat, it’s an annoying situation, but that’s the essence of double championship — it obviously confuses the division. So, this shouldn’t happen all the time, but in Islam’s case, I think it makes sense.
We need to move the division forward. I hope that eight weeks after this fight, we will see a new title fight in the welterweight division,” the fighter said at the press conference.
Let’s remember that yesterday, May 11, Della Maddalena defeated Belal Muhammad in the main event of UFC 315 in Montreal, Canada.
