Volkanovski explained why he would prefer a fight with Oliveira, and not Makhachev
“Everyone knew I wanted to fight Conor in Brazil, but he didn’t take up my challenge. Makhachev and Nurmagomedov said a lot in the media. They said they would go to Brazil to fight me right in front of my eyes. fans. But they didn’t come. They didn’t even agree to fight on neutral territory. As a result, the champion will fight on his opponent’s territory for the third time. As I showed in the fights with Poirier and Gaethje, that’s no problem for me. When the cage closes, we’ll just stay the two of us. I’m going to Abu Dhabi to shut Islam and Khabib’s mouth. If Khabib and the Islam like to promote fighting without showing respect for other martial arts, so it is their right. I respect all styles of martial arts. We have to be careful in their terms. Who won Makhachev? I defeated all of them. highs by submission or knockout. I’m not going to bring the fight to a judge’s decision.”
The UFC lightweight title fight between Oliveira and Makhachev will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
