UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev admitted that the title holder is of a lower category Alexander Volkanovski in February of this year gave him the hardest fight of his career.

Let us remind you that in a tense confrontation the Dagestani won by unanimous decision. Already this Saturday at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the fighters will have a rematch.

“Volkanovski is the hardest fight of my life. Because this was the first time I fought five rounds. I threw hard. You have to ask Alex, what did he do to win?
