UFC champion in the welterweight division Jack Della Maddalena spoke about the upcoming fight with former titleholder in the division below Islam Makachev.
It was previously reported that the fight between the Australian and the Dagestani could take place in the fall.
“Islam has never fought in the welterweight division. Well, maybe only when he was much younger. But the entirety of his career in the UFC has been in the lightweight division. He will soon gain muscle to hold his opponent better in wrestling. But he will get tired because of that,” Maddalena stated in an interview with The Grin Reapers.
