As we know, Islam Makhachev is ready to ascend to the welter weight in the coming months. It will challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC title and, if he wins, he will join a select group of fighters who have Cattle world titles in two different categories of weight.
The wéter weight division is found in a kind of transition period, with The former Belal Muhammad, Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman still among the top five.
However, some are emerging New contestants in the division, as are Brady and Michael Moralesthat continue to show impressive actions.
Para Makhachev, Della Maddalena represents a very difficult test. We saw his performance against Belal Muhammad and, although Islam is a different fighter, this will certainly be not bread eaten in any way.
In a recent interview, Khabib Nurmagomedov said about Who is the most dangerous opponent for Makhachev.
“In the wéter weight division, I see Shavkat (Rakhmonov) as someone who inspires respect and represents a real risk. It is Shavkat, to Belal and Ian Machado Garry would not be considered such a serious threat. I don't see Sean Brady as a great threat, ”Khabib told Kamil Gadzhiyev.
“Stylistically, it is too convenient for Islam. Islam would overcome it in blows, and if they struggled, Islam would control it. I don't see Brady as a dangerous opponent. Shavkat, Belal and Maddalena (are the greatest threats), ”Khabib continued.
Khabib certainly knows what he's talking about in this aspect, but It is interesting to see his opinion about Sean Brady and Ian Machado Garry.
