UFC Welterweight, who trained with Islam Makhachev

While the pound-for-pound number one was dominated at £ 155, Jack Della Maddalena is a threat of 170.

Daniel Cormier suggested that Makhachev had to work on his wrestling, although this was his strongest ability after Della Maddalena's impressive victory over Belal Muhammad to Belala.

An candidate in the world weight who has trained with the former lightweight in the past is of the opinion that this will not be a problem for Makhachev, but it could be another area.

According to Vicente Luque, power will be the biggest challenge for Islam Makhachev in the world weight

Vicente Luque believes that the biggest challenge with which Islam Makhachev will be with will move to 170 pounds that is the difference in power.

The 22-member UFC veteran has trained with the former lightweight champion in the past and is a basic food of the world herter weight division of the doctorate.

Some fighters and analysts have proposed that Makhachev could possibly be even better with a higher weight class, since it does not cut out as much weight to compete with £ 155.

Although he may not have a size advantage over his opponents, Luque does not expect that this is a big problem for the Russian when it comes to grappling exchange.

He told Inside fights that Makhachev was a very physically strong grapper, but the size advantage could work against him when it comes to strokes.

The pound-for-pound number one is not known as a particularly powerful striker, and this could be emphasized if it competes with larger opponents.

“I don't think he has to struggle with the grappling aspect of the strength for the grappling. He has a lot of strength for it. He has a good condition. Obviously we have world weights, we have hit hard, especially people like me, like Jack. People who are striking, have a lot of hardness.”

Vicente Luque compares the change of world weight in the world weight of Islam Makhachev to Gilbert Burns

Vicente Luque explained, although he could feel how strong the Islam Makhachev was when they trained together, it still felt like he was dealing with a slight weight.

However, he continued that he does not believe that this will be something that holds him back in the world weight because he will be able to place more emphasis on his strength.

Luque drew parallels between Makhachev and Gilbert Burns, who also trained with Luque as a lightweight before he went on £ 170, where he found good luck.

“I always told him [Burns]”Hey, you should climb because you are very strong.” As soon as he had risen, he was much stronger because he could really use this weight. He could work differently and work more on his strength. So I see that in Makhachev. “
