The MMA world is buzzing after Belal Muhammad dropped a shocking revelation about Islam Makhachev’s game plan ahead of UFC 322 — and fans can’t stop talking about it!

In a recent interview, Belal admitted that Islam is preparing to “completely destroy” Jack Della Maddalena (JDM) in what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fights of the year.

Belal Muhammad, who once shared the Octagon spotlight with JDM in the welterweight division, made a candid confession that caught everyone off guard. “He’ll do what I couldn’t — he’s on another level,” Belal said. “Islam’s power, his control, his timing… it’s something else. Once he gets his hands on JDM, it’s over.”

According to Belal, Islam Makhachev’s fight IQ and relentless grappling pressure will be the deciding factors when he faces the dangerous Australian striker. He emphasized that Islam’s pace and precision are “built to break anyone who relies on stand-up alone.”

Inside Islam Makhachev’s Game Plan

Belal didn’t hold back in teasing the blueprint:

Smother JDM’s boxing rhythm early.

Use chain wrestling to force constant defense.

Neutralize power shots with level changes and clinch pressure.

Drag the fight into deep waters — where Islam dominates.

It’s a strategy MMA fans know all too well — the Dagestani suffocation style that has dismantled opponents across divisions.

Belal hinted that Islam has studied JDM’s past fights meticulously and found “clear openings” that he plans to exploit from the opening bell.

Belal Muhammad’s revelation has turned UFC 322 talk into pure chaos. With Islam Makhachev reportedly planning to “destroy” Jack Della Maddalena, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

As the countdown continues, fans are split — will Islam’s suffocating control reign supreme once again, or can JDM shock the world with another highlight-reel finish?
