Former UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski told how he approached the rematch with the title holder in the division above Islam Makhachev.
“I am known for my discipline and professionalism. But not this time. I'm very sad about how I was for the months leading up to this fight.
I drank alcohol every day for three or four weeks before the fight. It took me out of reality. This is unheard of for the average me. But that’s exactly how it was,” Volkanovski said in an interview with Israel Adesanya’s YouTube channel.

Let us remember that last year Volkanovski suffered two defeats from Makhachev. In February he lost by decision, and in October, taking the fight on 10 days' notice, he lost by knockout.
