Khamzat Chimaev Backs Islam Makhachev To Outwrestle Jack Della Maddalena

The middleweight champion backed Makhachev (27-1) to overcome Maddalena (18-2) ahead of their welterweight title clash. “Both are interesting fighters, but I think Islam is gonna win using more of his wrestling,” Chimaev said, adding that the former lightweight champion Makhachev's move up to the 170-lb division is interesting. Champion JDM vs. Makhachev will headline UFC 322 this Saturday.
