Jordan Leavitt, a UFC fighter, gave a prediction for the upcoming bout between the organization's welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev.
“I consider Della Maddalena the favorite. He is underestimated. Of course, Jack's victory over Belal Muhammad is ignored because Makhachev is on a different level. Although Belal is a more persistent wrestler than Islam. And he doesn't engage in exchanges. Dustin Poirier fought on equal terms with Islam, and Maddalena is currently better than Poirier. Usually, Belal doesn’t let opponents rise, but Jack did it again and again. I prefer Jack.”
