Former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya has offered his expert prediction for the coming welterweight title fight between Jack della Maddalena and the Islam Makhachev.
Towards the end of the year, fans will probably be treated to a spectacle between Jack della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev, because the Australian will defend his 170 pound title for the first time since the beating of Belal Mohammed on UFC 315.
Initially, Della Maddalena hoped to bring the title fight to Australia, but his proposition was apparently rejected by Dana White and the UFC.
And with that Makhachev recently begged the promotion for the fight to take place in the legendary Madison Square Garden Arena in New York.

Israel Adesanya predicts della Maddalena vs Islam Makhachev
The potential collision of Welterweight title is one of the most expected fights that the promotion could do at the moment, even though they recently announced various blockbuster head events.
White gave a small update with regard to Makhachev, claiming that he will soon have something new about the Russian, where the fight is aimed at the end of the year.
And for their long -awaited collision, Makhachev was warned by various hunters about the threat of Della Maddalena, and Khabib Nurmagomedov even stated that Della Maddalena will be the most difficult fight of Makhakev career.
That idea is former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya who has given his prediction for the guaranteed blockbuster.
“This fight, Ben Vickers (the coach of della Maddalena) said he is going to beat (Makhachev), and I believe him, I really believe him, because I just think he can't hang the scrambles with him or when he comes up again,” Adesanya told Alexander Volkanovski in a video on his YouTube.
“Della Maddalena is just so stoic, he just focuses on his own game and when he does, I really think he will get it and I can't wait until that happens and wherever it is, I will be there,” Adesanya continued.
Makhachev's teammate says he is working on his struggle for collision
Although Makhachev is generally considered to be one of the best grapplers in the sport, prior to his collision against Della Maddalena, he is advised to work on his wrestling by his teammate, Daniel Cormier.
During his UFC official period, Della Maddalena has shown an incredible capacity to keep the fight on the feet and to avoid any danger on the ground.
