Daniel Cormier has explained why he would’ve advised Alexander Volkanovski against a short notice meeting with Islam Makhachev.
This weekend at UFC 294, Alexander Volkanovski will attempt to do the unthinkable. With less than two weeks to prepare, he will step in and battle Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight championship. It will serve as the second time he’s done so following their collision at the start of the year, which ended in a decision win for Makhachev.
Volkanovski, despite the short notice nature of the bout, seems pretty confident in his ability to get the job done. Of course, whether or not that’s a misguided view remains to be seen, but if anyone can do it, it’d be ‘The Great’.
In the eyes of Daniel Cormier, though, this wasn’t the best move from the Australian sensation.
