The current UFC featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski, who will share the octagon with Islam Makhachev in the next fight, plans not only to take away the UFC lightweight title from his opponent, but also to win a dominant victory over the Russian.
“Islam is strong and it will be ready,” the Australian said in a video posted on his YouTube channel. “But I guarantee you, you can remember my words – I will be more than ready. I will be in great shape, strong as ever. I already scored very well. I already have more muscle than I had in the last fights. I’m already stronger, much stronger.”
“2023 will be the most important year of my career, my legacy – it will be a defining year. It will begin with the destruction of Islam. This is a great opportunity to not only be great, but to become one of the greatest of all time. This is what I’m going for”
Recall that the title superfight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski will be the main event of the UFC 284 tournament, which will be held on February 12 in Perth, Australia.
