Volkanovski hinted at Makhachev using a drip before UFC 284 fight
Australian mixed-style fighter (MMA) Alexander Volkanovski hinted at cheating by the Russian Islam Makhachev before the fight at the UFC 284 tournament. His words are quoted by MMA News.
“I would say that he weighed about 81 kilograms. In this case, the fighters quickly refuel with droppers and the like. It may be a small shot in his direction, but this is what it is, ”Volkanovski said.
On February 13, New Zealand fighter Dan Hooker said that Makhachev went to the doctors to get a drip from dehydration after a weight race, which is prohibited by the rules of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The manager of the Russian Rizvan Magomedov called Hooker’s accusations complete nonsense.
