Makhachev was to meet Brazilian Charles Oliveira. But he withdrew from the fight due to a cut on his eyebrow.
Note that Volkanovski and Makhachev already met at the beginning of 2023. Then the Russian won by decision.
“A lot of people might say I’m crazy for deciding to leave on short notice. But it’s an opportunity. A lot of people wouldn’t do it.

Of course, I would like to have a more serious training camp. I like to fix things. But I am also qualified for this kind of work. If anyone is willing to get off the couch 10 days before a fight and get ready, it’s me. The world will be in shock in 10 days.
Let’s finish this guy already. There is no pressure on me, all the pressure is on him. And I just got up from the couch,” Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.
