President of the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White spoke about the upcoming fight of the Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Islam Makhachev against the Australian Alexander Volkanovski. His words are quoted by Sportskeeda.
“I think this is just a monstrous fight. It will become the best-selling fight in history. He will collect the largest number of purchases for viewing, ”White predicted. The head of the UFC noted that after this the record owned by the Irishman Conor McGregor will fall.
Athletes will meet on the night of February 12. The fight will take place at lightweight. Thus, the featherweight champion Volkanovski, who currently leads the ranking of the best UFC fighters, will change the category, and Makhachev will defend the champion title for the first time.
