Sandhagen predicted the winner of the fight Makhachev - Volkanovski

Ranked UFC bantamweight Corey Sandhagen said that he would support Alexandra Volkanovski in the upcoming match with Islam Makhachev, but at the same time, he still expects to see the victory of the Russian.

The meeting of these fighters will take place on February 12 at the UFC 284 tournament in Perth, Australia. At stake will be the lightweight title held by Makhachev.

“I will root for Volkanovski. Not because I don't like Islam, but because I like Alex. I think it will surprise a lot of people. I remember when he fought with Mendez and Aldo, he was transferred, but he got up as if there was no one above.

But if I had to make a bet, then I would choose Makhachev, since dimensions play a big role. Makhachev drives a lot of weight. He is big and strong enough to win this fight. If they were in the same weight class, then I would bet on Alex. But because of the difference in weight, I will choose Islam, ”Middle Easy quotes Sandhagen.
