Alex Volkanovski Talks Hesitation During UFC 294 Main Event
Alex Volkanovski faced the music during the UFC 294 post-fight press conference. Speaking to reporters, “The Great” said that he didn’t anticipate being hesitant in the quick loss to Islam Makhachev (h/t MMAFighting).
“I felt strong,” Volkanovski said. “I felt strong in there, but obviously I’ve been telling you I want to put some hands on him and whatnot. I wanted to pull the trigger, but it just felt a little weird in there, that little bit hesitant, which I didn’t expect. It was like I was waiting for something. I was like, ‘I’m going to go, I’m going to go,’ and then he got me.”
Volkanovski wore his heart on his sleeve during the post-fight presser. He wasn’t shy in sharing that the loss hurts him, but he plans on getting back on the horse when he’s cleared to do so.
