Islam Makhachev Targets Double-Champ Status Ahead of UFC 322 vs. Jack Della Maddalena

“I want to do more than just become champion; I want to be a double champ,” Makhachev said. After vacating his lightweight belt, he rebuilt his body to handle welterweight power. A win over JDM on Nov. 15 would surpass Khabib, who never became a double champ. “Just (8-9) people that take a second belt. They’re all going to be (remembered) in history.” Makhachev added.
