UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski believes that for the newly crowned welterweight titleholder Islam Makhachev, the most serious challenge at the moment is the former division hegemon Kamaru Usman.

"Usman showed himself well in the fight against Chimaev. Kamaru does not take unnecessary risks. I think it is Usman who will be the toughest opponent for Islam," Volkanovski said in an interview with Home of Fight.

Let us recall that last weekend Makhachev defeated Jack Della Maddalena on points in the main event of UFC 322 in New York, USA.
