Volkanovski has picked a favorite in the Makhachev - Tsarukyan fight

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 17, 2025, 6 a.m.

Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski speculated on the upcoming fight between the organization's lightweight division belt holder Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan.

"Makhachev has enough calculation to win. I think Arman will have problems in the stand-up, Islam is not so easy to get to. He's very good at defense and distance work. In the end he can either catch you with a closing punch or move you into the parterre. Both of which he does just fine. Islam will take the rounds, he will be the clear favorite," - quotes Volkanovski BJ Penn.

Recall that Makhachev and Volkanovski will fight on the night of January 19 in the main event of UFC 311 in Los Angeles, USA.
