Alex Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, explained why he is confident in his victory over Islam Makhachev. According to the Australian, the thing is that he is used to pressure. And Islam will not surprise him with this.

“I don’t give up at all under any pressure. So, I'm ready for the challenge. I put myself in a difficult position every day. I constantly spar with tanks, sharks in our sport. Fresh fighters constantly arrive at my camp, putting me in difficult positions. I fight him round after round,” Alex said.

Recall that the confrontation between Volkanovski and Makhachev will be held on February 12 in the city of Perth. For Islam, the upcoming fight will be the first defense of the lightweight championship belt.
