Robert Whittaker previews potential clash between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev

Jack Della Maddalena became the welterweight champion by defeating Belal Muhammad at UFC 315. Following this victory, Islam Makhachev publicly expressed interest in claiming the title by defeating the Australian fighter.

In a recent interview on Submission Radio, Robert Whittaker shared his thoughts on the potential matchup between Della Maddalena and Makhachev, saying:

"That’s always the question everybody asks when anybody is moving up or down a division, there are so many unknowns involved. But saying that, I think Islam can do everything that Belal does, but way better... I don’t think it’ll be an easy fight for Jack, but I believe in Jack. He’s got that X-factor, he’s got that hunger there. Just like with Belal, just like with Gilbert Burns, I think he can do the impossible."
