Makhachev advised Volkanovski to refuse the fight in January

Alexandr Ormanji Oct. 23, 2023, 5:53 p.m.

Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, gave advice to his recent opponent Alex Volkanovski.

ā€œHe canā€™t fight in January ā€“ he has to take a break. He has a big cut above his eye and he missed a really good kick - that's why he needs a rest. If he's smart, if his team is smart, he'll rest for a couple of months because I didn't choke him and didn't finish with a body shot. It was a kick in the head, and the decision should be made not only by his coach and team, but also by his doctor.ā€

Let us remind you that Makhachev knocked out Volkanovski with a high kick in the first round.
