Alexander Volkanovski Weighs In on Islam Makhachev’s Welterweight Move

Volkanovski praised ex-lightweight champion Makhachev’s leap to welterweight, calling him a threat across the division. “Islam’s great, him moving up. I think he’s a nightmare,” he said. Yet he backed fellow Aussie Jack Della Maddalena: “I think JDM can do it.” At UFC 322 in November, JDM (18-2) will have his first title defense vs. (27-1) Makhachev in New York.
