In UFC history, Islam Makhachev is the boxer with the most successive wins in the Lightweight weight class. Rumors about Makhachev want to rank Welterweight have been around for a long time, but no unit has confirmed. However, UFC directly did it.
In the latest notification, UFC said the Lightweight weighting class officially removed the belt. The Islam Makhachev champion will rank Welterweight to compete. With the achievement table of a fighter who kept the belt in the Lightweight, Makhachev could immediately be painted.
Welterweight is also a UFC weight that has just recorded a new champion. At the UFC 315 event on May 10, Jack Della Maddalena defeated the champion of Belal Muhammad in the 5 -round match. The victory by calculating the point helps Jack Della Maddalena officially become the new UFC king.
After the UFC 315 event, Jack Della Maddalena said he took the initiative to “ask” to fight Islam Makhachev in the near future. That aspiration seems to have come true. The two boxers could face each other in the middle or the end of this year, when Maddalena completely recovered.
On the Islam Makhachev side, the last time he played was in January 2025. It was the time when Makhachev surpassed Renato Moicano in the first half. After the event, Makhachev revealed a little about his own life. He said he was married and had 3 children.
