President of the AMC Fight Nights promotional company Kamil Gadjiev said that the Russian UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev will confidently defeat the Australian Alexander Volkanovski in the fight for the title at the Abu Dhabi tournament.
The fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) and will be the headliner of the UFC 294 tournament. The Australian accepted the fight at short notice after the withdrawal of the Brazilian Charles Oliveira due to a wound.
— An epic day for Russian MMA. Volkanovski was already out of his depth when he first fought Islam.
To be objective, Makhachev is of a higher class and weight and will win with confidence today. Today, Alexander Volkanovski will lose the halo of the invincible fighter who last time forced the champion to fight and almost won,” Gadjiev said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match ” on the channel.
The first meeting between the fighters took place at UFC 284 in February and ended with Makhachev’s victory by unanimous decision.
Watch the live broadcast of the main card of the UFC 294 tournament on October 21 on the channel from 9:00 p.m. Moscow time.
