Athletistic/ Boxing. UFC featherweight title contender (up to 65 kg), Mexican Yair Rodriguez estimated the chances of the current champion, Australian Alex Volkanovski, in the lightweight division.

“I think his lightweight fight is a good idea, but the fighters there are too big. I won’t say size is everything, but given the level of fighters like Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira, and I think that they are very high quality, I don’t think they would have any problems in the fight with Volkanovski.

With all due respect to the champion, he’s very good, but I think whoever wins this fight will be the favorite against Volkanovski,” Rodriguez said as quoted by MMAJunkie.
