Jack Della Maddalena Supports Bisping’s View On Belal As Ideal Tune-Up For Makhachev Fight

The welterweight champion agreed with Bisping that Belal, whom he defeated in May for the title, was a valuable warm-up opponent. “Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, grappling-heavy style, but yeah, a good warm-up for sure,” Maddalena said, emphasizing Belal’s wrestling approach as solid preparation for Makhachev's grappling-heavy skill set. JDM and Makhachev are set to clash on November 15.
