Islam Makhachev Dismisses Craig Jones’ Impact on Jack Della Maddalena

Makhachev brushed off concerns about JDM training with Craig who helped him beat Belal Muhammad and worked on his wrestling. Makhachev said, “Let’s make this Craig’s first fight in MMA. It doesn’t work like that. Du Plessis brought a lot of coaches for Khamzat, and it didn’t help.” Eyeing a second belt at UFC 322, Makhachev remains confident he’ll dethrone the welterweight champ.
