Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion, explained in a recent interview why he is where he is Alexa Volkanovski I wouldn't accept a rematch with Islam Makhachev on such short notice.

“To be completely honest, I would say: “Take time, let’s take advantage of all the opportunities. Let's have a full training camp." I believe Volkanovski was thinking: “Now Makhachev will fight Oliveira, then Justin Gaethje, and my opportunity to become a double champion may slip away. So I would probably wait.”
