Alexander Volkanovski looks clear and certain in his mind as to how he thinks the fight with Makhachev is will play out. Recently in an interview with The AllStar, Volkanovski said, “I think it’s gonna be more of a standup battle… Obviously, he is going to shoot earlier with my movement… I think he’ll probably work striking.”

Furthermore, he added, “I’m not saying his striking’s bad, but he’s gonna be a little bit uncomfortable with my movement and things like that. With the angles that he is used to and timing that I have and all that type of stuff. It’s gonna make him a little bit more uncomfortable… I’m gonna go where I am comfortable.”

Volkanovski explained in his interview what he does for practice. Not to anyone’s astonishment, the UFC featherweight champion is working harder than ever. Moreover, the P4P number 1 said, “I’m constantly doing rounds and rounds and rounds with fresh guys coming in with 5-10 minutes rest in between their rounds… They wanna give me all the work that they can, as hard as they can, and then they just fold.”

He continued, “Imagine the same guy doing that. I’m telling you I’m gonna be able to do that for 5 rounds, especially against one guy. I don’t care how strong you are. I don’t care how fit you are. You are gonna get slow down, you’re gonna get weaker.”
