Max Holloway Predicts Della Maddalenas Upset Victory Over Islam Makhachev at UFC 322

Former UFC lightweight champion Max Holloway shared his thoughts on the upcoming title fight in the welterweight division (up to 77 kg) between current champion Jack Della Maddalena and Russian fighter Islam Makhachev. This bout is scheduled for November 16 at UFC 322 in New York (USA).

«I might sound crazy, but I’m siding with Jack in this fight. The first two rounds will be highly competitive, and we’ll see how the match unfolds. Della Maddalena’s takedown defense and anti-wrestling skills will be crucial. He has the ability to wear Islam down, and his size might prove to be a challenge for his opponent.

I know Islam is used to training with larger partners and his stamina is impressive, but I foresee that Jack will tire him out and potentially secure a victory by technical knockout in the third round. Jack is precise and continuously lands strikes that gradually impact his opponent,» Holloway commented on his social media page.
