Australian fighter Alexander Volkanovski will be a more dangerous opponent for Islam Makhacheva that the Brazilian who retired due to injury Charles Oliveira but the Russian is well prepared and there should be no problems in the upcoming fight, Ruslan Titov, vice-president of the MMA Federation of the Moscow region, told .
Earlier it became known that Volkanovski will replace the injured Oliveira in the title fight with Makhachev, which will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi. In February, the Australian lost by decision to a 31-year-old Russian at the UFC 284 tournament.
— My opinion is that Volkanovski is a little more dangerous for Makhachev than Oliveira. They’ve already had a pretty close and tough fight. But on the contrary, he won quite easily against Oliveira. But Makhachev had a good camp, a good practice, so I think he won’t have any problems. He already knows how his opponent works and how to counter him,” Titov told .
Makhachev has 24 wins and one loss during his MMA career, while Volkanovski has 26 wins and two losses.
