Athletistic/MMA. Russian UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has posted a new message on his social media, addressing his future opponent, the promotion’s featherweight champion, Australian Alexander Volkanovski.

“Alex, my respect for agreeing to this fight on short notice, but don’t use that as an excuse after the fight,” Makhachev wrote.

Recall that Volkanovski replaced the injured Charles Oliveira, who was seriously injured and will not be able to play.

The fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski will be a rematch. Their first meeting took place on February 12 in Perth (Australia). Makhachev’s victory was brought by a unanimous decision of the judges.
