Reigning UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who is due to defend his title against Alexander Volkanovski next month, does not rule out that his fight against the best fighter in the organization, regardless of weight, can go all the way.
In order to increase his endurance, the Russian fighter arrived at the training camp at the highest point in Russia and Europe.
“We need to stock up on oxygen for five rounds. Height, ”wrote the lightweight, posting a photo from the vicinity of Elbrus.
A few days earlier, Volkanovski announced that he planned to end the fight ahead of schedule and knock out Makhachev in the second round, but admitted that the fight could turn out to be protracted and go all 25 minutes.
The title superfight in the lightweight division between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski will be the main event of the UFC 284 tournament, which will be held on February 11 in Perth, Australia.
