Robert Whittaker, the former UFC middleweight champion, spoke about the possible fight between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev.

ā€œIslam will use Belal’s tactics in the fight with Jack, but he will do it better. Much better. But there’s a million-dollar question. If Volkanovski was able to hit Islam, then Della Maddalena can surely do it too.

Jack likes to fight at close range, and that makes him vulnerable to takedowns. And in this regard, Makhachev is much better than Muhammad. Furthermore, Islam is stronger tactically. What does all this mean? I don’t have an answer,ā€ said Whittaker on the MMArcade podcast.
