Makhachev called the difference between Volkanovski and Oliveira

Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, explained why Alex Volkanovski differs from Charles Oliveira.

“To stop Volkanovski, you need to either strangle him or knock him out. I can't say the same about Oliveira because if you put him in a tough situation he will always give up. And this guy will fight for five rounds.”

Let us remind you that Makhachev and Volkanovski will have a rematch on October 21 in Abu Dhabi as part of UFC 294.
