US EditionIslam Makhachev: warns Jack Della Maddalena after UFC 315, vows to show “different level” in potential welterweight title clash
- Following UFC 315 in Montreal on May 10, Islam Makhachev, the reigning UFC lightweight titleholder, issued a pointed warning to Jack Della Maddalena, who had just claimed the welterweight crown.
- Makhachev's move to welterweight follows Della Maddalena's victory over Belal Muhammad, which ended Muhammad's first title defense and cleared the path for Makhachev.
- Makhachev vowed to show Della Maddalena a 'different level' and aims to become a double champion despite UFC policies discouraging simultaneous title holdings.
- After UFC 315, Makhachev responded to Della Maddalena’s remarks about Alexander Volkanovski by asserting that Della Maddalena is not on Volkanovski’s level and promising to demonstrate a superior skillset. He also expressed his ambition to become a two-division champion, using the hashtag #inshaAllah.
- Makhachev seems prepared to challenge for the 170-pound title later this year but may need to vacate the lightweight belt due to UFC's stance on holding two titles simultaneously.
