Adesanya supported Volkanovski before the fight with Topuria

Israel Adesanya, a former UFC middleweight champion, believes that mixed martial arts fans are doing nothing when they write off the organization’s current featherweight champion in advance Alexa Volkanovski.

“Alex is a sharp blade. This is my dude. In a recent interview, he said correctly about how quickly everyone forgot. I know this feeling. But we will get through this. It's time to remind everyone. And he’s going to do it in his next fight,” Adesanya said.

On February 17, Volkanovski will defend his championship belt against the attacks of Ilia Topuria. Their fight will headline UFC 298.

Let us remember that in his last fight, which took place in October last year, Volkanovski lost by knockout in the first round to Islam Makhachev.
