Kamaru Usman Calls Islam Makhachev a ‘Scary’ Matchup With No Holes in His Game

"When I look at a guy like Islam, I don’t see holes… that causes that heartbeat to go up," the ex-welterweight champion said of Makhachev's win against Della Maddalena for the welterweight title. Usman added that "he can wrestle, grapple, and strike at an elite level." During the post-fight interview, Makhachev hinted that Usman could be his first title defense.
