“Naturally, the fact that Volkanovski accepted the fight on very short notice had an impact. Fighting after full preparation and training to stay in shape are two different things. Islam did a great job. What if Volkanovski accepted the fight, which means he was ready for such a result.

The rematch between Makhachev and Volkanovski ended in a Russian victory by first-round knockout.
