Jack Della Maddalena, UFC champion in the welterweight division, gave a forecast for the bout against Islam Makhachev.
āI look at Islam as a serious challenge and one of the best in the world. The preparation is pretty much the same - itās a difficult five-round title fight, so Iām working on a clear game plan and I intend to implement it in November.
I plan to go out and knock him out. The best scenario is a stoppage. I see this happening, how it will shake the arena at Madison Square Garden when I confidently knock out the pound-for-pound number one,ā said the Australian fighter in an interview with Submission Radio.
