Jack Della Maddalena Expects Islam Makhachev to Wrestle Early at UFC 322

Ahead of their welterweight title clash in November, Maddalena predicted ex-lightweight champ Makhachev would lean on grappling from the first round. “He’ll probably try getting on… looking back at the Belal fight, he probably sees Belal’s mistake was not wrestling early,” he said. Vowing to be in the best shape, JDM added, “I’m gonna go for [the finish]. I can see it happening.”
