"Islam has grown a lot, he has more experience. But I think Volkanovski will give him a tough fight, because he is good at both wrestling and striking, he breathes, he has a lot of experience, he is tough. A very big challenge for Islam, but I think he will still win,” Tsarukyan said.
Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski will be held on February 12 in the Australian city of Perth.
