Islam Makhachev is rumored to be making ready for his first-ever UFC welterweight title protection, and a high-level teammate has weighed in on the discourse. The combatant in query is Gadzhi Rabadanov who clashes with Alex Chizov within the PFL Sioux Falls co-main occasion on Might 2nd.
There are reviews on the market centred on Islam Makhachev verbally agreeing to his first UFC welterweight title protection and that he has already began a coaching camp. When touching upon the rumblings of the UFC pound for pound elite returning to the cage to embark on this large legacy transfer in his profession, Rabadanov stated [via Bowks Talking Bouts],
“Yeah, he [Islam Makhachev] began his coaching camp. Now he’s in [the] mountains. He practice, he begin his coaching camp. Possibly quickly they going to indicate who his subsequent opponent [is]. However I do know he began. He’s educated out proper now. He’s ready.”
Islam Makhachev has his subsequent opponent seemingly leaked by a high UFC welterweight contender
Islam Makhachev’s subsequent opponent could have simply been talked about by a fellow divisional peer, who has his personal high-stakes welterweight matchup this weekend. The fighter in query is Carlos Prates, who takes on the person that Makhachev claimed the 170-pound crown from. Jack Della Maddalena is that ex-titleholder and he would be the partisan pugilist at UFC Perth when JDM does battle with Prates on Saturday.
With some theorizing Makhachev will battle in August at UFC 330, when providing his ideas on who he thinks that first UFC welterweight title protection would come towards, in an interview with MMA Combating, Prates acknowledged [via Bloody Elbow],
“You could have Ian [Machado Garry], he’s going to battle now towards Makhachev, so the following [one] goes to be Carlos Prates.”
Prates has his personal historical past with Machado Garry with the latter defeating the previous on factors in April of final 12 months. This transpired at UFC on ESPN 66 within the battle evening headlining bout.
