Russian MMA fighter Kirill Sidelnikov believes UFC lightweight champion will be a Russian Islam Makhachev There is no point in organizing a third fight with Australian Alexander Volkanovski.
On October 21, Makhachev defeated Volkanovski by first-round knockout at UFC 294, defending the lightweight championship belt. This victory elevated Makhachev one place in the rankings of the best fighters in the UFC, regardless of weight categories, but left current heavyweight champion Jon Jones in the lead. Makhachev’s stats in the UFC are 25 wins, 1 loss.
“Alex accepted the challenge in less than two weeks.” But I think Islam won the first fight confidently and would have been stronger in the second, even if the Australian had undergone a full training camp. Volkanovski came out simply to “read the check”, even Makhachev’s team talked about it.
There is no need to fight a third battle: Islam has proven everything. I know him personally, we were part of the sambo team together. He’s truly a professional athlete, not a showman. He maintains discipline and she, in turn, beats the class,” quotes RT Sidelnikov.
