“I think Volkanovski can do great at lightweight, but these fighters will still be too big for him. I'm not saying that everything depends on the size, but I don't think that such high-class fighters as Makhachev and Oliveira will have problems in the fight with Volkanovski.

I say this with respect to Alex, he is very good. But I think that the winner of the fight for the lightweight title will be the favorite in the fight with him, ”said the Mexican in MMA Junkie.

On July 3 at UFC 276, Volkanovski made his fourth defense of his belt, defeating Max Holloway with a crushing decision. Earlier, the 33-year-old Australian has repeatedly announced plans to fight for the lightweight title.
