Jorge Masvidal Hails Islam Makhachev as “Best Ground Fighter in the World”

Former UFC welterweight Masvidal praised Makhachev’s dominance ahead of his welterweight title clash with Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 on 16 November. “Once he hits the mat, nobody has better ground control or submissions; he’s a real-life nightmare,” Masvidal said. He credited Makhachev’s dismantling of Charles Oliveira as proof, calling him the world’s premier grappler heading into 170-pound competition.
