Coach Javier Mendez Confirms Islam Makhachev Has No Weight Issues Before UFC 322

Mendez revealed, “He’s put on the weight really nicely. I think Islam is currently around a solid 191 lbs.” After vacating his lightweight gold, the Dagestani now chases a second belt in the welterweight division at Madison Square Garden. Many expect JDM to have a size advantage, but Mendez believes, “We’re not going to have any issues moving up a weight class.”
