UFC President Dana White commented on the rumors about the organization of a re-fight between the lightweight title holder Islam Makhachev and a champion in the category below Alexander Volkanovski.

The first meeting of these fighters took place in February and ended with the victory of the Russian on points.

ā€œI donā€™t know, letā€™s first see how Volkanovskiā€™s operation goes. He is at a stage in his career where he can do whatever he wants, how can you refuse him?

This guy has proven everything to everyone literally a million times. Many believe that Alex won the first duel with Islam. Whatever he wants to do, we will probably approve of it, ā€White said.

Recall that yesterday Volkanovski knocked out Yair Rodriguez in the main fight of the UFC 290 tournament in Las Vegas.
