Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Alex Volkanovski talked about his impressions of the fight against Russian Islam Makhachev.
“I can’t say that this fight was definitely won or that I could be proud of it. Islam was really good and patient,” Volkanovski told Mark Bouris on the Straight Talk show.
Recall that on February 12, Makhachev defeated Volkanovski by unanimous decision of the judges after five rounds at the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, Australia. After the fight, Alex Volkanovski and another Australian fighter, Dan Hooker, accused Islam Makhachev of using an illegal IV before the fight.
This victory for the Russian took the 24th place in his professional career with a loss. He defended his lightweight title for the first time.
