Mixed martial arts fighter Kirill Sidelnikov commented on the cancellation of the fight between the Russians Islam Makhachev and Brazilian Charles Oliveira at UFC 294.
Earlier it became known that Oliveira would not be able to participate in the fight, as he received a cut. Australian Alexander Volkanovski will replace Charles.
— Psychologically, it will be more difficult for Makhachev. When you prepare the entire camp for an opponent and then it changes in a short period of time, then you have to conduct the training process differently. So it will be more difficult, it seems to me. And from an entertainment standpoint, of course, this fight is way cooler. After what we saw in the first fight, now everyone is interested,” Sidelnikov said as quoted by “Championship”.
Makhachev has already met Volkanovski. At UFC 284 in February 2023, the Russian won by unanimous decision.
