Russian fight Islam Makhachev against Alexandra Volkanovski couldn’t be easy, the Aussie feels distance well and is very sturdy, said the mixed style fighter Vyacheslav Vasilevsky .
On Sunday, Makhachev defended the UFC lightweight championship belt, beating Volkanovski by unanimous decision. The fight, which took place in Perth, Australia, lasted all five rounds.
“I predicted the fight would be amazing and very competitive. It was 100% justified. Volkanovski is a machine, Islam is a machine, someone had to win. It was Islam.
Knocking out Volkanovski is not the right idea, he is very good in the stands. Despite its small size, it is very sensitive. My advice to Islam before the fight is to take him down more, demonstrate more combat sambo, because fighting with Volkanovski is not a good idea.
At the end of the fifth round, and at other times it was alarming, Volkanovski hit pretty hard, but Islam did a good job, he was going to do his job. Volkanovski is impossible to win easily, he is a cardio machine, a fighter who feels the distance well and does not get tired. Nobody would have an easy walk, ”Vasilevsky said on the air of the program“ Everything for the match! on MatchTV.
Makhachev in mixed martial arts has won 24 wins with one loss, UFC featherweight champion Volkanovski has won 25 fights and suffered two losses.
