Famous Canadian coach Firas Zahabi spoke about the defeat of the UFC featherweight champion Alexandra Volkanovski in a fight with a belt holder in a division higher Islam Makhachev.

“Volkanovski misses shots to the head, and has been missing for a long time. He has been kicked in the head many times, including the famous kick by Max Holloway. And again he got hit in the head - this is Alex's bad habit.

If I were training for a fight against Volkanovski, guess what I would be training? Of course, high-kicks, because he constantly misses them,” Zahabi said in the latest episode of the author’s YouTube channel.
