Islam Makhachev Prepared To Strike If Wrestling Fails Against Della Maddalena At UFC 322

Dagestani wrestler and ex-lightweight champion plans to switch up his game as he chases the welterweight title this Saturday. "This is one of the hardest fights for me because he's big and good everywhere," Makhachev said, adding, "If wrestling doesn't work, I'll strike with him." Meanwhile, Maddalena plans to “stay away from the Dagestani's wrestling” and “outclass him with striking."
