Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has shared his valuable insights regarding the highly anticipated bout between Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena.
Nurmagomedov conveyed his significant expectations for the upcoming fight, emphasizing its monumental importance:
“The anticipation for Islam Makhachev’s fight, I believe, could indeed overshadow all other matches, as it truly represents a historic event. This isn`t just for us, but for the sport in general. Della Maddalena is currently the welterweight champion, and this will be his first title defense. He is a very strong opponent. Islam’s move to a heavier weight class? Yes, this will undoubtedly serve as a significant challenge for us, a truly good test for Islam.”
Addressing his personal dedication and role in the preparations, Khabib detailed his daily mission:
“What do I consider my mission to be? It involves being in the gym morning and evening. Focusing on communication, diligent preparation, and managing weight cutting – all these elements working harmoniously together.”
