“I think this fight will be on the stand,” Adesanya told TheMacLife. “After Islam gets Alex out and can’t keep him down, he will start to panic and rush for takedowns, throwing reckless punches. I bet that Islam will not survive the third round. I know they prepared for five rounds and did a good job, I respect their dynasty, but in this part of the world they will have to respect our dynasty.”
Recall that the title superfight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski, in which the Russian will put the UFC lightweight championship belt on the line, and the Australian will risk the title of the best fighter of the organization, regardless of the weight category, will head the UFC 284 tournament in Perth on February 11.
