MMA fighter Liane Jojua said she was surprised by the Russian’s quick victory Islam Makhacheva on the Australian Alex Volkanovski in the main event of UFC 294.
On Saturday, October 21, Makhachev knocked out Volkanovski in the first round and defended the UFC lightweight championship belt. The two fighters met in Australia in February, with Makhachev winning by unanimous decision. Initially, the Russian’s opponent for the fight in the UAE was Charles Oliveira, but the Brazilian withdrew from the fight 11 days in advance, and Volkanovski accepted the challenge on short notice.

— I agree that the UFC is a spectacle. But the fact that the scenario is written in advance is not at all. Generally speaking, this does not concern the world of MMA, especially the UFC. I have no doubt about the fairness of their fights. To be honest, what I saw at the last tournament surprised me. I didn’t expect the fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski to end so quickly, it was cool. And about the fight between Chimaev and Usman, I thought exactly the opposite: it would be more impulsive,” Jojua said, as quoted by Legalbet.
