Volkanovski opened up about it in a recent conversation. He noted how both he and McGregor had taken victories against featherweight champs but had never crossed paths with one another. Now that the Irishman is eyeing a comeback, will their fight be set up after Volkanovski’s Topuria fight?
The knockout that hurt Volkanovski
After losing a very close battle to Islam Makhachev at UFC 284, Alexander Volkanovski had a shot at redemption at UFC 294. However, it wasn’t all the same. He had to step in at a few days’ notice when Makhachev’s original opponent, Charles Oliveira dropped out.
Volkanovski was dropped and knocked out via a kick to the head in the very first round. After the loss, the fighter was visibly upset during the post-fight press conference. However, he assured the fans that he’d find focus and keep training. Now, he has a chance to show what a well-prepared Volkanovski can look like. Will he prove his mettle once again? We’ll find out at UFC 298.
