UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski shared his expectations from the upcoming fight for the vacant belt in the light heavyweight division between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev, which will be held on the night of December 11 at UFC 282 in Las Vegas.
“To lose once in your career is saying a lot. Ankalaev is a good fighter: he can knock out, he can score. I do not think that any of them will immediately get into the fight. It seems to me that the fight will take place in the standing position. Who will I bet on? I am leaning towards Ankalaev. For a wrestler, he is very good in the stand, ”Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel.
Recall that on February 12, Volkanovski himself at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia, will try to win the lightweight division title in a duel with Islam Makhachev.
