UFC President Dana White Explained why Alexa Volkanovski's opponent will be "Korean Zombie".
“We had to do something. There was a problem, and we needed to solve it. We had to do it. I would like to wait for Chikadze and see how his fight ends. But another question is whether he will win. Will he be all right after the fight? Will he be healthy? Will he be able to return quickly enough? See for yourself - the Korean Zombie just won the fight, he's number four. He just deserved it,” White said in an interview with TSN.
Initially Volkanovski's rival was supposed to be Max Holloway, but he withdrew from the fight due to injury.
