UFC fighter Dustin Poirier analyzed the fight between Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena. Ahead of this much-anticipated clash, the American fighter shared his predictions and discussions with fans.
— Poirier, in your opinion, who is the favorite in this fight?
— I think the fate of the fight will be determined in the first two rounds. If Islam can frequently execute his powerful fighting style — takedowns — then the victory will go to him. Because his advantage on the ground has worked many times. However, if Jack can neutralize this plan of Makhachev, that is, if he can keep the fight standing and not go to the ground, then after the third round the advantage may shift to the Australian.
— Why do you think the 3rd round is so important?
— Makhachev usually quickly takes control of his opponent in the first two rounds. But if he doesn’t rush and Della Maddalena can withstand, the balance of power changes. Jack’s relentless striking and endurance may give him the upper hand in the later rounds.
When will the fight take place?
This much-anticipated UFC night is scheduled for November. Currently, Islam Makhachev has a record of 27-1, and Maddalena has 18-2. This showdown will be one of the biggest intrigues in the UFC lightweight division worldwide.
According to Poirier, who has the higher chances?
Poirier did not rush to name a clear favorite. According to him, the first two rounds will likely go to Islam Makhachev, but if Jack Della Maddalena can hold out, the intrigue will remain until the end, and both fighters will have a chance to win.
