Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Henry Cejudo shared his thoughts on a potential bout between the promotion's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and belt holder in the featherweight division Alexander Volkanovski.
According to rumors, the duel of these fighters will take place on February 12 at the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, Australia.
“Islam is a bigger and stronger guy who can take your blow and go forward. He is so sure of himself that he does not even hide what he is going to do. He will bring you to the ground and strangle you, so you need more time to prepare for such a meeting.
I don't understand why they want to have this fight in February in Australia. It's too damn early, Alex. I know that you have the skills, but to enter such a fighter, you need more than four months of training. You will need the right sparring partners and coaches,” Cejudo turned to Volkanovski on his YouTube channel.
