Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shared his perspective on the highly anticipated bout between Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena.

I think the expectations for Islam Makhachev`s fight could overshadow all other bouts because this is truly a historic event, not just for us, but for the sport in general.

Nurmagomedov further emphasized the significance of the challenge ahead for Makhachev, who currently holds the lightweight title but is moving up in weight for this contest:

Della Maddalena is a very good opponent. Moving to a heavier weight class will certainly be a test for us, a significant challenge for Islam.

Khabib concluded by outlining his integral role in Makhachev`s rigorous preparation for this pivotal fight:

My mission involves constant work – morning and evening in the gym, effective communication, thorough preparation, and managing the weight cut – all working together.
