Islam Makhachev Shows Gratitude After Warm UFC 322 Press Conference Reception

It’s rare for a Dagestani fighter to receive this kind of hype from a U.S. crowd, because it’s usually the opposite. Even Team Khabib members rarely ever get a warm welcome. But after receiving loud support this time, Makhachev said, “Thank you to everyone who came and supported. Double champ this Saturday, Inshallah,” ahead of his fight against Jack Della Maddalena.
