Belal Muhammad Predicts ‘Easy Night’ for Islam Makhachev Against Jack Della Maddalena

Muhammad expects former lightweight champion Makhachev (27-1) to dominate if the fight hits the mat. “Islam’s ground game is so good, and I think JDM makes too many mistakes,” he said, adding that the welterweight champion won’t be able to escape Islam’s control. “JDM’s scrambling is good, but Islam doesn’t let you scramble,” former welterweight champion Muhammad predicted confidently.
