Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, spoke about how ready his friend is Islam Makhachev to the upcoming rematch with Alex Volkanovski.
“Islam started training hard 100 days before the fight. Today was the last day of sparring, the hard work was done. Of course, Volkanovski is different from Oliveira. We'll make some changes, but the goal remains the same. Same goal, same battlefield, but I think Islam has more motivation now. Islam is a warrior. When he enters the cage, he is ready for battle. He is ready to dive into the deep ocean, no matter how deep. He's ready for the ocean. And God willing, he will remain a champion.”
