The newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev made his first statement after the victory over Jack Della Maddalena.
The Dagestani won against the Australian by unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 322 in New York, USA.
“I said: just give me a chance, and I will take the second belt. This is a dream. All my life I have worked towards these two belts. Very happy, words cannot express. These belts are very heavy, but I like it. I have worked very hard for this moment, thank you all.
At welterweight—I swear, my life has changed. I felt that without weight cutting I could fight five rounds non-stop, do whatever I want. For me, it was a very easy evening.
That was the plan. It's no secret, all my opponents know that I will wrestle, and no one can stop it. Donald Trump, let's go, open the White House! I'm coming!” Makhachev said after the fight.
