Alexander Volkanovski was called a convenient opponent for Islam Makhachev
The iconic confrontation is getting closer.
On the night of February 11-12, in Perth, Australia, as part of the UFC 284 tournament, two of the strongest fighters in the world, Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski, will meet for the lightweight title.
Forecasts for the match are very different. And although Makhachev is seen as the favorite, experts do not promise him an easy life.
At the same time, the Russian fighter Zubaira Tukhugov does not see the Australian as a particular threat to the Russian champion.
“Volkanovski is very small for Islam, in this sense he is a very convenient opponent for him to fight. I don’t see any danger for Makhachev from an opponent, ”said the athlete.
