“Volkanovski is one of the best pound-for-pound champions. He continues to improve and constantly proves people wrong. People say every time: “Okay, now he’s definitely going to lose.” Now he has reached a position where he has earned respect.
But Elijah is hungry, young and talented. I know he makes a lot of big claims, like he'll knock Alex out in the first round. This may be an underestimation, but I don’t think so. It's just part of his personality. I don’t know how everything will end, but it’s difficult for me to bet against such a dominant champion,” MMA Junkie quotes Emmett.
The Volkanovski-Emmett fight will be the main event of UFC 298, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim.
