Dan Hardy, a former UFC fighter, gave a prediction for the upcoming bout between Islam Makhachev and welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena.
āI think Islamās well-rounded preparation poses a problem for any fighter. I see how he takes strikes, and I see that itās probably a 50-50 exchange of strikes where Makhachev wins on the leg strikes, but then his grappling comes into play. He will likely win by submission in the championship rounds,ā Hardy said according to MMAJunkie.
