UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski spoke about the upcoming rematch for the title in the lightweight division with Islam Makhachev, which will take place on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

A few days ago, the Australian agreed to replace Charles Oliveira, who dropped out due to a cut.

“It will be an exciting fight. Of course I want to go out and hurt Islam. I'll try to do everything possible to make sure the fight doesn't last five rounds. I want to finish everything as quickly as possible. I don’t want to test Makhachev’s endurance. Don't think I could last five rounds, but I don't want to.

Let's finish everything clean and beautiful. I’m rested mentally and physically, which means I’m dangerous. “I plan to knock out Makhachev,” Volkanovski was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.
