Whittaker unsure about Volkanovski ahead of Topuria fight

Robert Whittaker, a former UFC middleweight champion, spoke about the upcoming fight between the promotion's featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski and the applicant Ilia Topuria. Robert doubts that Alex will be able to recover psychologically by that time after his early defeat to Islam Makhachev.

“This is a difficult question because it is unknown how the previous defeat affected him. Before his defeat to Makhachev, Wolf looked like he was unstoppable - no one doubted him. There was no one who was close to beating him, but after such a defeat as in the fight against Makhachev, I don’t even know. Psychology is a big part of the fighting world and the fight game,” the fighter said.
