Volkanovski promised to knock out Makhachev no later than the second round
The Australian simply exudes confidence in success.
On February 22, as part of the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, in the main event, Russian Islam Makhachev will defend his lightweight title against Alex Volkanovski.
The Russian fighter is already in Australia, undergoing acclimatization and actively preparing for the fight.
But his opponent, in addition to preparation, still manages to warm up the local public with loud statements.
For example, the Australian recently stated that Makhachev is the most serious opponent of all who have been in his career.
Today, Volkanovski has already changed his rhetoric, promising the audience to win a quick and easy victory over the Russian.
“Islam will definitely not be comfortable with me. I think in the first round he will try to throw me down, but I will not let him do that. Makhachev has not yet met guys like me. No matter how strong he is, I feel that I will win ahead of schedule - if not in the first round, then definitely in the second, ”the Australian fighter promised.
