Javier Mendez Says Islam Makhachev Could Surpass Daniel Cormier

Mendez believes that if Makhachev wants to surpass DC's legacy, he has to claim and defend the welterweight title. The longtime coach set a clear bar: “If Islam can get double-champ status and defend it like DC, defend it two times, it eclipses DC. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t." Makhachev competes against Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title tonight.
