UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski spoke about a possible meeting with the title holder in the lightweight division Islam Makhachev.
Earlier, the Russian expressed confidence in his victory over the Australian, calling him "too small a fighter."
“Funny. I feel that Islam underestimates me, because I am only a featherweight. How can I deal with his power? This is how he looks at our duel. Makhachev will be in shock when we meet face to face.
When we are in the cage, Islam will be uncomfortable in the standing position and he will try to carry out a takedown. When he tries to grab me, he will think: “Damn! But this guy is not as weak as I thought! Islam will break psychologically. It will be, because something will happen that he does not expect, ”Volkanovski said in an interview with Submission Radio.
According to rumors, the meeting of the two champions may take place on February 12 at the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, Australia.
