“I feel great – a new opponent, but the same goal. I respect Volkanovski because he took this fight. But I think he got a call from the UFC and what he heard was, “Hey, we have some good money for you. Just take this fight." That's all".
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Makhachev and Volkanovski will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi as part of UFC 294.
