Volkanovski said – “I agree with that [on not getting media attention]. I haven’t been the one to really care about that. But many things are changing, and I am going to change that, you know what I mean. Going out there and doing what I plan on doing this weekend is going to change that.”
“So, I am gonna go out there and obviously, you know, you say this every time, ‘you are going to put him away.’ But mate, I am doing everything I can now. I am going to, you know, shut Ortega’s mouth up by putting his head through the canvas. And you know, I am gonna go get that finish.”
“I want to put on a performance. I want people leaving that arena like absolutely blown away by the performance, and get people talking.” – Volkanovski added.
