Alexander Volkanovski believes that UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev is facing the toughest challenge in the division with former champion Kamaru Usman. Makhachev recently secured his second title by dominating Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322, while contenders like Michael Morales and Carlos Prates also made their mark. Volkanovski highlighted Usman’s strategic fighting style, suggesting he could pose significant problems for Makhachev. Usman, who recently ended a losing streak with a win over Joaquin Buckley, is seen as a favorable matchup for Makhachev’s next fight.
