UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski stated that in the training camp for the upcoming fight with Ilia Topuria he did not remember the early defeat from Islam Makhacheva.
“You know, I completely abstracted myself from that fight. Do you understand what I mean? And I appreciate this in myself. As soon as a goal appears in front of me, I focus only on it.
Of course, I don't like to lose, so it was painful, but at the same time I try to challenge myself. This time the preparation was serious, because we don’t want the same result as last time,” Volkanovski said in an interview with the Main Event YouTube channel.
Let us remind you that the Volkanovski-Topuria fight will be the main event of the UFC 298 tournament, which will take place on February 17 in Anaheim, USA.
