Bisping spoke about replacing Oliveira with Volkanovski in the fight against Makhachev

Former UFC middleweight champion and current commentator and expert Michael Bisping reacted to the news that Charles Oliveira withdrew from the fight against Islam Makhacheva ten days before the UFC 294 tournament, and agreed to replace him Alexander Volkanovski.

“Huge respect to Volkanovski for agreeing to replace Oliveira just 10 days before the tournament. Respect to Makhachev for agreeing to such a risky replacement from a stylistic point of view. What a story and what a sport!” Bisping wrote in X.

Makhachev and Volkanovski will meet for the second time in 2023 - in February, the Dagestani, not without problems, defeated the Australian by unanimous decision. At stake in the upcoming meeting, as in the first fight, will be the lightweight championship title held by Islam.
