“I think the fight against Volkanovski is the most difficult fight. Because it was emotionally difficult for me. A difficult fight away from home. It is very important for Islam to have 11 more hours to sleep again, eat again, save 2 hours over 3 kilos It was a tough time.
I knew after the weigh-in they would enter the cage after 28 hours, and in Abu Dhabi against Oliveira, Islam entered after 39 hours. It’s a big difference. And more time zones. The first time, I wasn’t there. I was very worried,” Nurmagomedov said.
