Islam Mamedov exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
I wouldn’t say it was difficult for us to decide on Makhachev moving to welterweight. Islam has the physicality to compete with middleweights. He trains with them on equal footing and will pose a challenge to anyone in the welterweight division.
Islam Makhachev vacated his UFC lightweight title to fight Jack Della Maddalena for the title in the welterweight division.
