UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski gave a forecast for the upcoming fight between Stephen Thompson And Shavkat Rakhmonov.
“Both fighters are very strong, but I always thought that Stephen, in fights with young and ambitious guys, was in a good position, especially when he was considered an underdog. Yes, the years fly by, but don’t forget about his movement and ability to control the distance. We know that Rakhmonov likes to go forward and apply pressure. If you fight such an opponent in the open, it simply won’t work. In my opinion, this is the best option for betting on the card. I'm always ready to pick Stephen Thompson because he can give anyone a fight. So I’m leaning toward Thompson winning.”
Let us remind you that the fight between Thompson and Rakhmonov will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
