Russian midfielder “Krasnodar » Ilzat Akhmetov congratulated his compatriot Islam Makhacheva with a victory over the Australian Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 294.
On Saturday, Makhachev knocked out Volkanovski in the first round in the main event of UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi and defended his lightweight championship belt. In February, these fighters met in Australia, and then Makhachev won by unanimous decision. Initially, Makhachev’s opponent for the fight in the UAE was supposed to be Charles Oliveira, but the Brazilian withdrew from the fight 11 days in advance, and Volkanovski accepted the challenge on short notice.
– Islam, congratulations on your confident victory. You have proven again that you are number one, champion. Keep it up, more victories. We support you,” Akhmetov said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
