Islam Makhachev said he could “finish off” Alexander Volkanovski in a rematch
Russian champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Islam Makhachev spoke about a possible rematch with Australian Alexander Volkanovski. His words are quoted by the Weighing In YouTube channel.
“I always dominate my opponent. I wanted to finish him off, you know, and I know I can do it. And if he wins his next fight and I win my next, why don’t we meet again?” Makhachev said.
On February 12, Makhachev defeated Volkanovski at UFC 284 by unanimous decision. He defended the organization’s lightweight title for the first time in October. The Australian was surprised that he was not recognized as the winner and demanded a rematch anytime anywhere.
In total, in his professional career, Makhachev won 24 victories and suffered one defeat. Volkanovski has 25 wins and two losses.
