It was initially planned that Makhachev would meet with Brazilian Charles Oliveira. But he withdrew from the fight due to injury.
Makhachev: “I want to become UFC champion in two weight categories, this is a chance to make history”
“I felt like Volkanovski won the first fight. I thought so. As the fight went on, he looked more and more confident.
Now Volkanovski will fight on short notice. He has nothing to lose. But he trained, ready for battle.
I think Volkanovski will stop Islam this time. Of course, I’m biased. If I could bet, which I’m not allowed to do, I know who I would bet my money on,” the New Zealander said on The Rock’s YouTube channel.
